Hi Chole ! It breaks my heart to read that you’re in so much trouble. Your story sounds like it started for me also, seven years ago. I was first diagnosed for inner ear infection, and never got better. Your question how urgent ES is or if it’s life threatening, well there is no studies that shows death as an imdiate outcome but if your case is severe enough it could cause some scary symptoms aswell as stroke. Stroke may accure with the vasculare variant off ES, because off compression on the internal jugular vein or carotid artery, stroke can also accure if the elongated styloids broke off and punctured an artery/vein. There is patients with severe compression on the IJV/CA that’ll have dystonic storms or TIA seizures. Sadly, but suicide has also been an outcome for some few. > [@Suicide Hotline Numbers](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/suicide-hotline-numbers/686): > > USA : 1800-784-8433 ; 1800-784-2433 ; 1800-273-8255 Argentina : 54-0223-493-0430 Austria : 01-713-3374 Australia Lifeline Crisis: 13 11 14 24-hours Australian Kids Helpline Crisis: 1-800-55-1800 24-hours Australian Suicide Call Back Service: 1300 659 467 Online counselling Barbados : 429-9999 Belgium : 106 Botswana : 391-1270 Brazil : 21-233-9191 Canada : 519-416-486-2242 (Ontario) ; 1-888-787-2880 (Alberta) ; 1-866-872-0113 (British Colombia) ; 514-723-4000 (Quebec) China : 852-2382-0000 Cost… So in my opinion, ES is urgent enough and should be taken seriously ! > [@chole](#): > > I scheduled a doctors appointment in 7 days, should I ask to come sooner or wait the 7 days? That you have to decide for yourself, i think you’ll be okey waiting seven days. But sometimes clinics offers “drop in” apointments if you call in early in the morning. Hope you are doing okey, and please let us know if there is anything we can do for you 😊 Good luck ! - Henrik --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/is-eagle-syndrome-an-emergency-and-what-are-odds-of-dying/16499)._
