Pneumonia (certain types): While pneumonia is generally treatable, some aggressive forms, particularly bacterial pneumonia, can rapidly worsen. Symptoms include cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. In severe cases, it can lead to respiratory failure and death within a short period.
Heart Attack: A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is blocked, often by a blood clot. Symptoms include chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, and lightheadedness. Prompt medical attention is crucial, as a heart attack can be fatal within hours.
Stroke: A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted, either by a clot (ischemic stroke) or a ruptured blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). Symptoms include sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body, confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, and sudden severe headache. Rapid treatment is essential to minimize brain damage.
