Breathing Difficulties

Emergency Room and Emergency Care Services For Breathing Difficulties

Breathing Difficulties can be a medical emergency. ER of Texas provides 24-hour emergency care with no wait.

You can expect to have some trouble breathing after exercising, but for the most part you should be able to breathe without difficulty. If you or someone near you is having trouble breathing then this is a serious situation and you should visit your nearest ER or call 911 immediately.

Breathing emergencies may come with the following symptoms:

  • Shortness of breathe
  • Wheezing
  • Breathlessness
  • Quick, shallow breathing
  • Coughing
  • Dizziness
  • Nausea
  • Anxiety
  • Blue discoloration around the lips or fingers
  • Confusion

Shortness of breath can be caused by many things, including:

  • Asthma
  • Heart attack
  • Lung damage
  • High blood pressure
  • Allergies
  • Pneumonia
  • Blood clots
  • Altitude sickness

What to Do When Someone is Having Trouble Breathing

First and foremost, call 911 and clearly explain the situation to the dispatcher. While waiting for help to arrive, you can loosen any tight clothing that might be restricting airways or blood flow. If the person has an inhaler, make sure they have access to it. If you or anyone else in the room knows CPR, be prepared to administer it.

Try to keep the atmosphere calm. Anxiety can make breathing problems worse. You’ve done the right thing by contacting medical professionals. Take comfort knowing that you have taken action.
