Yes, if there is a need for oxygen or breathing support.
If you are experiencing chest pain or progressive shortness of breath you should be seen by a provider - ED, Urgent Care or your primary care provider. If you are experiencing chest pain or have a history of heart or lung problems you would be best served in an ED.
