seek medical attention if *update*

[Anonymous]

Seek medical attention if you have issues breathing. Urgent care says go to the er.. er says go to normal doctor. Doctor can't see me until Jan 13th. Says if I need to be seen sooner go to er...

update I woke up again this morning choking. I called my doctor as soon as they opened. They told me to go to er. Er did chest x-rays. Gave me a breathing treatment. Said I have a viral infection and sent me home.

could even be heart problems... go to the ER and tell them you are short of breath..wheezing and having chest pain etc...... that it is bad enough to make you sick to your stomach.......

but it could be asthma too... it could be a lot of things ...which is why you need to be seen sooner rather than later!

 Go to the ER, make them see you. Even lie if you have to.

Some of my friends are nurses. They think I have whooping cough.

Maybe whooping cough or bronchitis? Or pneumonia?

Either way, that's not a normal asthma attack. Just go to the ER and demand to be seen and treated.

that is entirely possible....

or pnuemonia........

definitely need to be seen right away....

feel better ......

Go to the er and tell them you have chest pains. My step mother recently had the same symptoms (she has asthma and bad allergies), and it turns out she was having a rare type of heart attack where her ateries cracked instead of clogged. Most likely not the case, but don't take no for an answer when it comes to your health.

Please go to er. None of us can help you. You are obviosly needing to go and if you have to call 911 and getan ambulance. Breathing problems are nothing to mess with. Please go in now!

Did they at least give you meds for home? I hope you start breathing easier soon.

nope.. I already have an inhaler and a nublizer. They said just to keep using those and I can go back to work like normal..

Apparently i can work taking care of the elderly being light headed, dizzy, and sick.. -sigh-

Trip was just a waste of time and money.
