Waiting for out of hours GP

Chest got worse through afternoon.

Ventolin didn't help.

Rang NHS direct and need to wait til 6.30 to speak to out of hours.

Ventolin making me shaky.

Ugh.

should you be waiting that long? might be a good idea to nip to a + e if you get any worse x

Hope they sorted you out when you got to speak to them. Let us know how you go xxx

yes let us know! partner just broke up with me and i cried till i was sick. only to notice that my nose is completely blocked and my chest is starting to get tight. however i left my inhaler in partners car and to upset to ask for her to come back with it so just trying to stay calm and make my chest relax. it would be so typical to end up in a & e after a break up!

I've PM'd you s_lizzie

I just got home. Dr has given me prednisolone and antibiotics as he said chest crackling. Also told me off for waiting and said should've gone straight to a&e. Partner has gone to fill script.

Hi piglet,

glad your ok, when taking pred make sure you keep well hydrated as apparently pred causes water retension and can make you a bit constipated at the same time- just thought i warn you. Oh the joys of pred lol

It's quite funny, my cat's asthmatic too and is on pred daily bless her. Annoyingly the added meds will increase my nightly tablet intake to 20...

I'm feeling loads better today. Still feel like my chest isn't 100% happy but i'm much better than last night. They gave me a different spacer which i'm finding much easier too. Just feel like i have a mild chest infection. Thanks everyone for caring x
