Here is my concern----if you go from isolated incident to full blown---in my case that happened over night---it was only because I work in a hospital I was able to get care. Now some people have a slow onset but the current models suggest that earlier care in those cases makes them much milder and sometimes resolve. It is possible nothing is wrong or it will resolve but if it becomes severe your choices are usually inpatient at the ER or waiting 2 months for a pdoc appointment. Neither is optimal thus I suggest establishing a relationship with a doctor in case you need them. As far as money it's way cheaper than inpatient and insurance should cover it.
