5 Signs It’s Time to See a Doctor

Life gets busy. We push through sniffles, headaches, or tummy trouble—until something doesn’t feel right. Knowing when to seek care can lead to faster recovery, fewer complications, and better health overall. With House Call The App, expert medical support is literally at your doorstep, on your schedule. 

Here are five key signs it’s time to call in a provider:

1. Your Symptoms Stick Around 

A cold that refuses to go away? Persistent cough, fatigue, or congestion? If your symptoms linger beyond several days—or worsen—it’s a signal that something more serious may be brewing, like bronchitis or the flu.

2. You Have a High Fever

Fevers are your body’s defense—but when they spike too high, it’s time to get help: 

  • Adults: 103°F or higher 
  • Children: 102°F or higher 
  • Babies (under 3 months): 100.4°F or higher 

Also watch for dizziness, severe headaches, rash, or dehydration—it’s always better to check it out.

3. New or Worsening Mental Health Concerns

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or low for more than a couple of weeks? Or have you noticed changes in sleep, appetite, or focus? These are more than mood swings—they could be signs of depression, anxiety, or something else needing attention. 

4. Digestive Trouble That Won’t Quit

The occasional upset stomach is normal. But persistent issues—like severe abdominal pain, frequent heartburn, diarrhea or constipation lasting weeks, or blood in stoolwarrant medical evaluation sooner rather than later. 

5. Vision or Cognitive Changes

Sudden blurry vision, double vision, seeing flashes, or changes in peripheral sight? Or notice changes in memory, focus, or behavior? These can be subtle signs of serious health issues—and they’re not things to ignore.  

When It Might Be an Emergency

If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 or go to the ER immediately: 

  • Trouble breathing or choking 
  • Chest pain, jaw/arm discomfort 
  • Sudden dizziness, fainting, or severe headache 
  • Confusion, sudden weakness, slurred speech 
  • Suicidal thoughts or severe mood shifts
