Biofeedback: when to get help

1. 1

   Is any of this happening now?

   Call 911

   Biofeedback itself is not expected to cause a medical emergency.

   Call emergency services for severe chest pain, major trouble breathing, fainting, stroke-like symptoms, heavy bleeding, or another sudden serious symptom rather than waiting for the biofeedback clinic to respond.

   Other emergency signs, for anyone

   • Someone who is struggling to breathe, gasping, choking, or cannot get words out
   • Someone who has chest pain, tightness or pressure lasting more than a few minutes
   • Someone who has sudden weakness or drooping on one side of the face or body, slurred speech, or sudden confusion
   • Someone who is unconscious, or cannot be woken
   • Someone who is bleeding heavily and it will not stop with firm pressure
   • Someone who has had a seizure that will not stop, or does not wake up afterwards
   • Someone who has lips or skin that look pale, blue, grey or blotchy
   • Someone who you believe has taken an overdose or swallowed something poisonous

   Does any of this apply?

   Book an appointment

   Contact the team during routine hours if you develop persistent skin irritation, increasing pain, dizziness during practice, or difficulty completing the exercises.

   Also contact them if an internal sensor causes ongoing discomfort or unexpected bleeding.

   Arrange routine follow-up if your symptoms are not improving, are getting worse, or the treatment is affecting your emotional wellbeing.

   The plan may need to be reviewed.
