Covid

I have been really careful and managed not to get COVID until yesterday. I have a dreadful cold like symptoms all in my head, I have asthma but normally no wheeze. Since my symptoms have started I am wheezing now. I use Fostair and blue reliever. I haven't done a peak flow check yet, but I will start a diary for it.

Try and get a phone appointment with your GP for tomorrow morning or 111 tonight if you aren’t managing and get any worse. Make sure you’ve followed your asthma plan and doubled up and you can take salbutamol really frequently so keep up with that as well. I had to quadruple my fostair dose when I was sick with covid so that might be something your GP suggests. And I was taking salbutamol every 3-4 hours

I hope you are feeling ok this morning. I tested positive on Tuesday after being so careful for the past 2 years. Started with cold symptoms and coughing. I doubled my preventer immediately. Yesterday I developed a really chesty cough. Have been coughing up quite a bit of gunk. The coughing is really keeping me awake at night think I have slept about 3 hours a night since it started! i am exhausted.
