What kind of illness is "Urgent"
Lets start of with the Basics. In Medical view, 3 basic component (A-B-C) is required for living. They are:
1. Airway
2. Breathing
3. Circulation
Anything illness that associate with the 3 of them are consisted urgent and should not delay to seek medical help. Let me elaborate further:
Airway is perfect when you can talk normally. But is abnormal when :
1. Choking Feeling
2. Gasping for breathe or feeling of something stuck in throat. (Ever had cases where some people used traditional method of swallowing a lump of rice to clear fish-bone resulting in large tear of the esophagus [tube where food travels to stomach] resulting in severe bleeding needing surgery.
Breathing should be easy, along with equal chest rises equally on the left and right side. And not:
1. If breathing is forceful
2. Or un-usual breathe sound (high pitch, bubbling etc.
Circulation refers to the heart-beat, supply of blood to the body. Is a sign of problem when:
1. Often feel your heart-beat / pulse at extremities even at rest. Is a sign of high blood pressure.
2. Chest discomfort. (Tightness and Pain)
3. Gets tired and sweaty easily
If you have any problems in regards to the 3 of them, don't delay in seeking medical attention. Is often urgent.
