Do you find it difficult to decide when to go to urgent car

I hate having to decide when to go and I took my DD to urgent care today and the pedi made me feel that I was silly to bring her in.

My DD has croup. I put her down for a nap. I hear a bit of a strange noise and check the video monitor and I see her standing up in the crib. She is having trouble breathing and can not catch her breath. So I bring her outside in the cold air and for over 5 minutes she sounding like she is choking and has a bit of a cough that sounds like she is barking. Since she is not improvingI decide to head to the nearest clinic that is only two streets over. I put her in the stroller and she is unresponsive for a few minutes. She starts to breathe better when we get there but is still pretty out of it. The doctor checks her over and tells that it is normal and will happen a lot and that it is not necessary to bring her because of what happened.

Did I overreact? Or is the pedi horrible? This is our first case of croup and breathing issues freak me out.

(There is no type of nurses line here so you just have to decide what to do)
