[Karl12345]

I'm new here and would like some advise,I was told I had asthma a good few years back,but always be able to manage it pretty easy, but had septoplasty/sinus surgery nearly 3 months ago and over last 10 day chest has been very tight, lots of flem build up and feeling drained, any advise would be great, thanks

Hi Karl. I think you would be best to go to your nearest walk-in centre and see what they say. There's a nasty chest infection doing the rounds here at present- I live in London- and I'm now on my 2nd lot of antibiotics and steroids since the 22nd & only feel like I'm starting to turn the corner now. I trust you get the help you need. All the best for 2017! ☺

Hi karl12345

I would definitely see your doctor asap if it gets any worse call NHS 24

Try drinking a lot of water even add a lemon it helps with the flem, rub vicks on your chest and a hot water bottle .

If you feeling it's getting worse don't wait until the GPS back get help before it gets worse and you end up in hospital.

All the best take care

I would see GP / walk in asap. Sometimes surgery can cause exacerbation of asthma but would normally be just after surgery. Are you breathing through your nose okay following surgery? Sometimes mouth breathing can cause more irritation to lungs as your nose acts as a humidifier warming and cleaning air?

Hope you feel better soon .

Nose breathing seems ok, but still got a lot of pain in my nose and not sure if this is adding to anything
