Nervous

I go back to my GP tomorrow- as part of my treatment I have had blood taken - this is to check for / rule out heart problems.

The results should be back - to say I am starting to feel nervous is an understatement.

You will be fine.  Once you and your Doc know exactly what you are dealing with ththe sooner you can get the correct medication which should make a difference to you.

All the best and let us know how things go.  Remember worrying makes no difference other than to upset you and rob you of good times in the present.

I am currently taking symbicort but it is'nt doing a great deal. Sadly only prednisilone enables me to exercise like I used to - taking it long term is almost certainly not an option.

Yes, I would say not.  Hopefully all the tests will point to better medication.  Have you seen a consultant or will your GP refer you once these tests have come through?

I have seen a respitory specialist who thinks its asthma - I have also seen an ENT specialist who told me I have an allergy that is affecting my sinuses. This, in turn, affects my breathing. Waiting to see specialist again.

Hope you get good results xxx
