Answers:
yeah well. are you an asthma sufferer cause you could eb having an asthma attack but if not i jsut went to the hospital like last ngiht cause i couldnt breathe and apparently im developing bronccitus. just go to the emergency room...which is basically just yeah instant doctor access. they'll bring you in. check your stats liek how much oxygen your getting if your heart is ok and if your wheezy. liek having asthma. and a nebulizer is just sa thing you put over your mouth and it gives you a pretty strong dose of ventalin which is an asthma releiver.
or they could possibly give you a tablet which will open up your air ways.
are you getting a sore chest or even the occasional dry cough or chesty cough.?
but yeah id go get checked out. cause its your breathing you'll probebly get in straight away. adn they'll keep an eye on you. i know its scary but in most cases its not life threatening and curable or treatable....or sohting as stupid as the early stages of a minor chest infection.

They would probably give you breathing treatments to stabilize you now, and then tell you to follow up with your doctor to see if you need a regular inhaler prescribed to you. So they would solve your immediate problem, yes, but if it happened again, you'd have to go back to the ER - which is way more expensive. Even with no money, you should go to the emergency room now, and visit a regular doctor soon to determine if a prescription is appropriate for you in the future.Health Question & Answer
No - I've gone to the emergency room with breathing problems before, and after being given a chest x-ray, 3 sets of blood tests, and urine tests they determined that I was not in need of emergency medicine and discharged. They told me if I still couldn't breathe, to call my doctor and have him refer me to a pulmonary (lung) specialist to administer an asthma test.Health Question & Answer
this happened to me last week, coincidentally. i did indeed get an inhaler, as well as a nebulizer (sp.?) treatment. it helped quite a bit. I really did need to go to the ER when i did, though. i had been having trouble for weeks and, like you, couldn't afford a regular doctor. so i waited until i realized i REALLY couldn't breath.
It was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me and i wouldn't reccomend waiting, since i honestly believe if i had been alone in the house i could have died.Health Question & Answer

They might. But if you are having trouble breathing enough to consider going to the ER, whether or not they give you an inhaler should probably be the least of your worries.Health Question & Answer
