Respiratory letter

Got a letter today from the respiratory consultant and it says "...referral to endocrinology to ensure that he does have adrenal insufficiency..." ..... sounds like it's a done deal *they wouldn't discuss my random cortisol test result with me over the phone*

And he does suspect I have asthma despite not being able to prove it with tests so far

Not much you can do here except get your GP to explain the letter and ask what happens now. Good luck!

The rest of the letter explained all that but the consultant doesn't luckily for wait around... I've had an echocardiogram and I'm booked for a full lung function test on the 21st

And I have been referred to endocrinology (apparently it's quicker if he does it)
