When to Seek Medical Care
If the person does not regain consciousness promptly, contact emergency medical services. Even if the person does regain consciousness promptly, a medical evaluation should be given to rule out a serious underlying problem.

Seek emergency medical care if the person:
  • Has stopped breathing.
  • Does not regain consciousness quickly (ie, within 5 minutes).
  • Has been injured, especially if he/she is bleeding.
  • Has diabetes.
  • Is pregnant.
  • Is aged greater than 50.
  • Is having chest pain, pressure, discomfort, or a pounding or irregular heartbeat.
  • Cannot speak, has vision problems, or can't move his/her arms or legs.
  • Has a seizure.
  • Experiences loss of bowel control.
