Hi,
For the last year i have had lots of problems with my asthma. I havent been into hospital with my asthma since i was about 5, im now 27. I had 1 course of steroids early last year and 3 course of steroids end of last year. I now have similar symptoms, ive been unwell, i cant walk the dog or go gym because i cough, wheeze and it hurts my chest, i wake up in the night coughing and my chest feels very heavy on and off. The nurse practitioner told me friday, my chest is clear, i have no wheeze, use your blue inhaler every 4 hours. That was it. I called asthma uk, found out im on a strong inhaler, never been reffered to the hospital ever, aparantly i should have been, and its really not controlled. I dont know how to word this to the doctor tomorrow, i am so scared it has been getting worse for the last month. I use my blue inhaler multiple times a day just to releive the pressure on my chest.
I dont have an asthma plan and they brush my symptoms off every time i go in because ive had other health problems for the last year, ibs and a broken ankle. I hate confrontation but don't know what to do.
