If you have severe pain in the thorax or head area, contact your GP or outpatient client (144) and discuss your situation with a specialist immediately over the phone. If necessary, have yourself taken to the emergency ward of a hospital near you (e.g. Salem Hospital or the Permanence Clinic in Bern).
