Then took ventolin then waited then took some more at 4am ish. Thought betterof it call 999. Couldnt fault the call handle ambulance. Ambulance arrived double quick. Lovely paramedics who check me over. All good just have a sore chest feels like I have been kicked by a mule. 😀🚑

Lovely to hear some positive news about the NHS! I'm glad you were able to get the help you needed quickly and are feeling better now. Best wishes for a quick recovery.

Check me out throughly oxygen levels, blood pressure, and ECG. All good and no need to go to hospital . They were very kind but professional. Reassured me that ringing 999 is always what I must do. Didnt do it at Christmas because of the news about ambulance. Not this time did the right thing just really tired
