donna, don't feel like you're wasting anyones time. you have a tight chest and a productive cough, thats more than enough to go to your Dr. Sounds like a chest infection, but don't say just, because they cause major problems if they linger around. Get it cleared up, and your asthma will benefit as will you.

Thanks for all the replies

The Gp says a chest infection that is aggrevating my asthma and also causing my blood sugars to drop ( im diabetic too ), she has put me on antibiotics and the dreaded pred. Im to go back in less than a week if no improvement and have a asthma check up with my asthma nurse next thursday, she's lovely tho. Gp also did my peek flow, it was apparently not as good as she wanted to see but i just have no puff. Once again thankyou all for your replies and sorry for the spelling mistakes i think i posted at approx 4 am this morning while struggling to breath and concentrate. Hopefully the pred will kick in soon and i'll be on the mend once again :-). Take care all and look after yourselfs love Donna xxx
