A member asked:

My throat feels like its closing up and i have to dig deep for breath. should i go to hospital?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Since you're experiencing breathing problems you should be evaluated promptly and the hospital emergency room is where you would receive prompt evaluation and care. Don't procrastinate as lung disorders can quickly become very serious.
