Hello,

I have been diagnosed with asthma since November 16 after many years of struggling and collapsing in the street, I have been told it is under control but I am struggling for breath frequently and in constant pain within the ribs,back and chest area.

Just seen this site and thought i would say hello

Hi Begbie welcome to the site all hear to help if we can 👌

Hi nice to meet you. You know how you feel and I don't see how they can say it's under control when you are suffering constant pain like this. I would go back to the doctors asap and ask them to investigate.

Welcome to the forum.

Clearly it is not co trolled if you feel like this. Go back to GP or Asthma nurse . If told it is under control ASK why they think you feel as you do and what can you/they try to do about it?

Hope this helps. I have learnt over 57 years of asthma to be politely insistent !

Thank you sometimes it feels like the doctors just want a conclusion, I am quite shy and do not like to trouble people. However I will try to be persistent and I will ask the questions sometimes it needs others to give you strength.
