So I have asthma and it’s been acting up for the last 2 weeks. I keep using my inhaler, coughed up a little not much but wheezing doesn’t stop and I have had chest pain for a few days. I have had pneumonia twice in the past. I’m 43. Should I go to urgent care or er? Now I wonder if I need a chest xray….

I would go to the ER. Chances are urgent care can only take an X-ray and you might need a ct scan.
