Cold with asthma

7 Replies

Hi!

This is my first cold after being diagnosed with asthma.

As well as feeling awful, I have an uncomfortable ache in the bottom of my ribcage! I'm coughing though I don't usually. Nothing too bad coming up, but tastes yucky and

chest feels tight. I'm wondering if I need to see my GP!

Thanks for that. Reading some of your replies thought you'd had it for years! I'll see how it goes with the possibility of the infection.

Thank you GM. Work in a GP surgery, if I need an appointment i'm sure they will say, usually do!

But its good to hear I'm not on my own! I'm liking my warm microwaveable

cow.

Lucky you, working in a surgery. GP on tap. xx

PS you've just reminded me, there's a microwaveable hedgehog in the spare room. Unused Xmas present.

Edit: for PS.

Not really, not registered there. Though If something wrong, they offer advice depending on what it is!

How's the hedgehog? I love my cow
