gp vs asthma nurse?

just after your opinion. Just been diagnosed and feel a bit dumped with it and left to get on. Doc said monitor things for a bit and come back to him or asthma nurse if theres any problems. I.m not having problems but would like a bit more advice/support. Should i go back to doc or asthma nurse. I know their time is precious so don't really want to waste it just for 'a natter about asthma and me'.↲What do you think?

Your asthma nurse will chat to you if you need to know more about your asthma.

it takes some getting use toit and only through AUK I got to understand all about it.

If your well in yourself but feel like you need more answers I would go see her or ring the asthma

nurse on here,

good luck,

Hi. I know how you feel! It does take time to come to terms with the diagnosis and the fact that it is a long term condition. I would go and see your nurse, as it is important to have all the information you need to give you confidence. That way you have a much better chance of remaining problem free. Sonja

I had the same problem, until i got referred to my nurse. she is amazing and soo helpful, i had another nurse at my doctors surgery who saw me once a year, but she had absoloutely NO idea what she was going on about and when i went ot my doctors about my asthma playin up, he was baffled and just said 'i'll put you on steroids' i would say see a specialist asthma nurse because you'll find that they know more about the subject xx
