When wheezing or chest tightness will not settle with your inhaler, both UrgentMed clinics provide nebulizer breathing treatments on a walk-in basis, with oxygen-level monitoring and chest X-ray on site if it is needed. Tell the front desk you are having trouble breathing and you will be seen promptly.

What to expect at your visit
- Say it at the desk. Breathing complaints are triaged ahead of the general queue.
- Assessment first — oxygen level, listening to your chest, and how hard you are working to breathe.
- Treatment during the visit, with reassessment afterwards to confirm you have improved.
- A plan home — prescriptions where appropriate, what to watch for, and when to seek emergency care.
When to go to the emergency room instead
- Struggling to speak in full sentences
- Lips or fingertips turning blue or grey
- Severe chest tightness that a rescue inhaler is not touching
- Drowsiness or confusion with breathing difficulty
- A child working hard to breathe, with the ribs pulling in — call 911
