I have been breathless now for 8 weeks since i had a chest infection that was treated with anti biotics and steroids.I spent a short time in hospital and was told to return home and i would eventually recover...when my inhalers were changed the cough dissappeared.....oh joy....well for the last 5 days i still remain breathless on exertion and the cough has returned with avengance.....i have a doctors appointment in a weeks time.....But has anyone any ideas for me in the meantime....i wake in the morning dreading how the day will go......PLEASE.......i am 70 years.......I have asthma.high blood pressure[well controlled]osteoporis,arthritis,migraine,vertigo etc etc........oh shoot me now hahahahahahaha...i am utterly disparing now i feel so low and depressed........

I would suggest you call the doctor's office and let them know about the change in your symptoms. They may want to see you sooner or have advice. Do you have access to an urgent care facility?

thanks for taking the time to reply ....i did ring the doctors and i can get nothing till next Monday not even a phone consultation......how disgusting is that?so i will see how i feel in the morning and if i'm still as low i will get an emergency appointment [you can get these on the day but can be seen by any of the practice doctors[on call doctor]...i would have like to have seen a doctor who knows my history]......
