How do you know when you need to go to the hospital?

A MyMSTeam Member asked a question 💭
Glen Burine, MD

I've been having really sudden and severe bouts of face tingling, disorientation, weakness, and shortness of breath. I always feel like it's just part of it. But sometimes it gets so extreme I can't function or focus at all.

Thanks. I've called neuro. Says shortness of breath isn't common sx of MS and it could be I have bronchitis or pneumonia which would trigger the other MS sx I do have. Says if it persists to go to urgent care or ER. I'm not congested so I'm not suspecting bronchitis.
