At Express ER in Harker Heights, we see many different health conditions, some of which are quite common. These common conditions seen in emergency care include:
Chest pain can be a very scary experience for any patient. However, it typically isn’t associated with a heart attack. Digestive issues, angina, pneumonia, and even sore muscles are much more common causes we see here at Express ER. If chest pain feels crushing, is accompanied by other symptoms such as dizziness, nausea or even shortness of breath or simply just won’t resolve, we recommend seeking emergency care at Express ER in Harker Heights.
With more and more people spending their days on devices such as mobile phones and computers, headaches and migraines are an extremely common complaint at Express ER, however, in most instances are not serious. If you experience a headache accompanied by neck stiffness, unconsciousness or after a head injury, we recommend visiting Express ER immediately.
Fevers are an extremely common symptom that accompanies a variety of health conditions. When it comes to seeking emergency care for fevers, we recommend:
Abdominal pain is a pretty common symptom we see at Express ER and more often than not is nothing serious. However, in certain situations, we do recommend seeking emergency care, including abdominal pain that is sudden or sharp, abdominal pain accompanied by blood in vomit or stools along with abdominal pain accompanied by shoulder, neck or chest pain.
Foreign objects may enter the body differently, mostly through the eyes, nose, ears, and skin. Objects in the eyes with sharp or rough edges contain chemicals or result in bleeding requiring visiting an ER near you. If you have pain or hearing problems after a foreign body enters the ear, seek emergency medical help. Avoid poking or prodding the object because it can push it deeper, making it hard to remove.
If you have a severe skin infection, visit an emergency room near you. We can conduct skin cell cultures to help diagnose the infection and administer IV antibiotics to treat the condition. Most patients that visit us with skin infections needing urgent care have fever, rapid heart rate, rapidly spreading redness, and unusual pain in a would or injured part.
See back pain emergency treatment if it occurs along with symptoms like the inability to control your bowel movements, stand or walk, and sudden loss of sensation within the legs. Back pain that spreads or radiates to affect the abdomen also needs urgent care. Further, if back pain occurs following trauma like a sports injury, a fall, or a car accident, it is prudent to get to the nearest emergency room for treatment.
The common sports injuries in our ER include ankle injuries, sprains and strains, swollen muscles, fractures, rotator cuff injuries, knee injuries, and dislocations. Visit us for sports injury emergency treatment if you twist a joint, fall, or get a blow that seriously injures you. We also treat chronic sports injuries that arise due to overuse of one body area.
