I'm taking Nebs 3x a day of Steroid, Ventolin and Atrovent.
Inhalers of Duo Resp, Bricynal Turbo and tablets
Phyllocontin, and 3x Steroid Tablets a day.
I'm finding I wake up and my chest is super wheezy, and very tight Chested.
My Body is sooooo Bloated, Heavy Feeling which makes my Asthma even worse I'm Pernamently exhausted. And just want to sleep,( can't tho as have to go to work).
Last time I went to A&E I was sent home by a nurse who said Asthmatics don't come to A&E you go to your doctors for that...
Go to Doctors who say your on highest dose of everything.
I honestly do not know what to do

Get gp to refer u to respiratory consultant. Some cheeky nurse to saybu shudnt come to a and e. If u hav breatjing problems then u need urgent help which a and e offer. In belfast there is a clinic for poor controled asthma but one needs referred. Asthmatics need all the help available just wish nursescand doctors would listen to their patients and try to understand what asthma flare up feels like. I wud be writing to complain to patients advocate if anurse ever says to mebu shudbt be at a and e. Thankfully my a and e offer excellent help and care.
I can't believe an A+E nurse said asthmatics don't come to A+E..... wow!... if you were having an attack they should have made you priority....I always go straight to resus if I have an attack.... if its just a chest infection however I get an emergency appointment with my GP who see me pretty quickly, if I can't make it to the surgery then they come see me at home...I am also seeing a respiratory consultant every 6 months or so...and an asthma nurse at my drs surgery, so if one can't help, I ask someone else.. see if they have an asthma nurse at your surgery or if you can be referred to one.. you can also call Asthma UK who can give advice over the phone....hope you get the help you need!
Yeah I see Asthma Consultant every 3-6 Mths, my Asthma Nurse ( has been of herself following surgery ) but normally see her 2-3 X a year...
My Doctors are great had urgent telephone conversation earlier today have to go down tomoz
