I think many ERs give out lots of stress, even before you see the bill.
All joking aside, if you are gripped with a sudden FEAR of Impending Doom, then an Urgent Care or ER or a virtual Doctor Visit, may be the only immediate care options. If this "stress" is explained to your primary care, in a bit more detail, then you would be directed a bit more appropriately in the next step. It sounds like making an appointment with a Primary Care Doctor for within the month is a wise first step.
