URGENT! Is a nebulizer used for chest pain?
I don;t have asthma, although I did when I was a child. Also I am not having breathing difficulties, I am just in pain between my bust which is like a crushing pain. Like someone is pushing or sitting on my chest. I am getting worried because its not subsiding or getting any better, if anything it's getting worse. I don't want to keep going to A&E incase it's nothing, although the nebulizer made it worse and at times now if I climb stairs of walk up a hill I am very out of breath and struggling a little to catch my breath...

25 having some chest pain i dont want to go to ER i have no insurance. Is there anything else i can do to help?
How long has the chest pain been going on? Does it come and go? Are you out of breath? Are you dizzy? Sometimes all of these symptoms can mimic a heart condition when in reality you're having a panic or anxiety attack. Chances are at 25 that is what's going on rather than a heart issue. BUT...ALWAYS go get something like this checked out to confirm with a doctor. Seriously go to an urgent care place if you don't want to pay for an ER. They have to take you in if you are complaining of chest pain or breathing issues. MAKE SURE when you go into the ER or urgent care that is what you tell them right when you go in. They WILL take you in as soon as possible rather than making you wait hours in the waiting room. They have no way of knowing how much you're feeling this or not -- so there's no way you can be in trouble for saying so. Because if you are feeling what you're feeling you need to be seen ASAP to rule out anything serious. Most likely they will tell you it's an anxiety attack - common for people your age and older. There's usually no pattern to them. You can be either sleeping or doing something physical doesn't matter. I had them myself until I learned to focus on my breathing when it was going on -- then eventually I didn't have them so much any more and now I hardly ever have them. Once you get it checked out and the docs confirm this is what is going on then you have to tell yourself that and focus on breathing and get on with life. It will get better - trust me I've been there. Take good care and I know it will work out for you! :) :)
What is the difference between an urgent care center and an emergency department?
ER visits are one of the most expensive ways to get healthcare. Besides the financial expense, you should also know that if you have anything less than a true emergency, you may be waiting for hours and hours. If at all possible, you want to avoid the emergency room. Going to an urgent care center can save you time and money. They're a good option for simple, straightforward, non-life threatening problems.Urgent Care Centers Are Good For: minor soft tissue injuriessimple fracturescold & flupink eyeminor localized allergic reactionanything you'd normally prefer to take to your primary care doctor but can't because they're closed or unavailable.An Emergency Room is Necessary For:Breathing ProblemsChest PainSevere BleedingSevere Pain or IllnessSignificant TraumaAny Kind of ParalysisHeadache if accompanied by other problems or if it's "the worst of your life"Sudden Difficulty Speaking or MovingSudden Change in Mental State (where someone isn't acting like themselves)Anyone Unconscious or that previously Lost ConsciousnessAllergic Reactions affecting airway or breathingOverdose or PoisoningActive Labor or Pregnancy ComplicationsThese are examples of issues that should be taken to a Hospital ER (immediately and by ambulance in most cases). Do not fool around with any of the above problems. Go directly to an ER, do not pass go.Note: I'm not a doctor and I haven't examined you. My little blurb above is a generalization with many exceptions. When in doubt, go to an emergency room. Call an ambulance if necessary.
OK i urgently need help my girlfriend is extremely sick and the hospital is no help.?
my girlfriend is extremely sick sometimes she acts pretty well but other times she seems on the verge of death ( not literally) this is the description she gave me., "my head is killing me to the point where i can not lift my head off the pillow. ill cry thats how much pain im in. everytime i stand up and i get very dizzy and light headed. then i throw up yellow stuff ( thin fluid that appears yellow. was dry heaving when this happened). everytime i take a deep breath in my chest hurts between my boobs very bad its like a sharp pain..and that only hurts when i breath. my head hurts constantly and sometimes i get bad pain in it and it won't go away. its in the center of my head like where my brain is not on my forehead. my mom had tried giving me exceterin,aleve, and naisal decongestant. and no help." note she went to the hospital and they were complete assholes about the matter and they walked out. most likely the mother will not take her back cause shes stubborn. i need help fast. pls give me something to work off. thank you im extremely upset and will welcome any serious ideas.
