Symptoms for sarcoidosis rarely require a visit to the emergency room. If you experience breathing difficulties, changes in your vision or palpitations, you should call your WellStar physician.
Sarcoidosis affects fewer than 200,000 people in the United States each year, a figure that qualifies it for listing as a “rare disease.” Some scientists and physicians say the disease may be much more common and affect a wide range of people around the world.
