Spokane Valley Urgent Care Provider on Managing Heartburn Episodes


Fortunately, heartburn is generally not considered an emergency, and most people can simply take over-the-counter medications to relieve their discomfort. There are also some things you can do to mitigate or avoid episodes altogether. These include eating more slowly, practicing portion control (no overeating), having dinner at least three hours before bedtime, and raising the top of your bed so your head and chest are higher than your feet. Of course, there are situations when home care will no longer suffice and visiting a Spokane Valley urgent care center becomes necessary. For example, if your symptoms don’t disappear after two weeks of medication, or if the medications you take do little to ease your pain, be sure to see a health professional. You’ll also need medical attention if you experience symptoms like chronic coughing or difficulty swallowing solid food, or if the heartburn aggravates your asthma attacks.

Spokane Valley Urgent Care Doctors Warn People of Heat Exhaustion


California becomes much warmer than Washington during the summer, but temperatures in Spokane can get pretty high as well. Doctors in a Spokane Valley urgent care center warn that you do not necessarily have to be engaged in strenuous activities like hiking to suffer from heat exhaustion. Even the simple act of attending to your garden could trigger a dangerous rise in your core body temperature. Common symptoms of heat exhaustion include nausea, dehydration, dizziness, headaches, muscle cramps, heart palpitations, and profuse sweating. If you experience these symptoms, take a break from your activities and enter a shaded and well-ventilated area, preferably an air-conditioned room. You should also adequately rehydrate with either water or a sports drink.

Urgent Care in Spokane Valley: Part of the Solution to ER Overuse

The fact that emergency departments at hospitals across the United States suffer from overuse has become an overstatement in the last few years. However, while the overuse problem has seen significant increases, the creation of concrete solutions to the problem has seen insufficient follow-through.

Fortunately, innovators from the private sector have risen to address the challenge. Across the country, private healthcare institutions have been working toward a greater public acceptance of their services. New centers for urgent care in Spokane Valley and across the country have emerged to meet the burgeoning demand for accessible, affordable healthcare, and are proving to be an important element in the search for a timely solution to ER overuse.

Spokane Valley Urgent Care for Your Non-Life-Threatening Medical Needs

Emergency rooms aren’t always the best destination when you need medical attention—and if you visit one for a non-life-threatening emergency; they’re not the most cost-effective. For non-life-threatening conditions, you might be able to save time and money by going to a Spokane Valley urgent care center instead.

If you go to an emergency room because of an ear infection or a sprained ankle, you could end up waiting for hours and paying hundreds of dollars. An established Spokane Valley walk-in clinic like the one run by U.S. HealthWorks Medical Group will be able to accommodate you quickly. Symptoms that can be treated at an urgent care facility include a fever without rash, painful urination, a severe sore throat, sprains and other minor trauma, persistent diarrhea, and vomiting.

Battling Allergies with the Aid of a Spokane Valley Urgent Care Doctor

The best method for battling allergies is to simply avoid contact with allergens. However, doing so is always easier said than done. Hay fever can be brought about by different types of allergens such as pollen, pet dander, and dust. It is important for people to undergo an allergy test to identify which allergens trigger a reaction.
