Have you been checked for COPD? Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

I suffer from COPD and I take an antibiotic 3 times per week. However from time to time i get the feeling that I cannot take a deep breath in, and then I a feeling of having mucus in my throat,

My Gp did give me some medication for this mucus which helps a little.

I went to see my GP couple of days ago and she told me that my chest was a bit tight this was why I was finding hard to take a deep breath, she prescribed me some antibiotics to take just once per day, but there has not been that much improvement so I am waiting for her to contact me re next step.

On previous occasions, when having prescribed antibiotics for similar, they have worked much quicker
