Help please (getting more symptoms etc)

Hello,

I decided to make a new topic, as I need some help. I last saw my asthma nurse around 3/4 weeks ago, and got put on easi-breathes as I wasn't taking my inhalers on the ventolin-type ones.

However, I have recentley noticed, I have been getting more out of breath, coughing, and chest pains. I decided to get a peak flow meter to help control my asthma, as it was badly out of control. Yet, it's either dropping, or never going above 360, yet it's meant to be 400.

My main question though, is do you have any advice to help ease the symptoms, as they are really annoying me now! hehe!

Any help is greatly appreciated

Tasha-if ure symptoms are getting worse you should Go back and see either your asthma nurse or GP because it is a sign that your asthma is not well controlled.

Thanks Kate - much appreciated.

Tasha, Kate is right - we're in no place to offer this kind of medical advice - you need to be seen and assessed properly by a health professional. Please make an appointment to see your GP or asthma nurse, or refer to the text of Kate's message which details how to get help in an emergency.
