Perhaps you should ring the blf helpline tomorrow they might be able to help. Have you been back to the doctors - perhaps you need different inhalers? Hope you start to feel better soon. Love TAD x x

sorry you are so poorly...what medications are you on? I have to be careful with some inhalers.

How about ringing the helpline tomorrow and asking for advice...and contacting your gp again.

I take a multi vitamin tablet everyday, my friend is anaemic and she has medication from her gp, iron tablets I think.....anaemia can make you breathless. Best wishes

Maybe a change in meds might help. I swapped spiriva for seebree and I'm having very good results for it.

I had the same results with seebree after struggling with spiriva

Hi Badger hope you've phoned your doc for an appointment, any deterioration in symptoms should be checked. It sounds like you could have a lung infection and you are deconditioning. Any vitamin is not going to help if its a lung infection.

Please see your doc asap. If its a lung infection you need the proper meds, ABs and steroids, if you have deconditioned your GP can refer you for another Pulmonary Rehabilitation course.

Take good care BC

very good advice from blakey c badger I would also recommend doc giving you m o t bud because it sounds like you need strong dose of anti biotics, take care and all the very best.

You need to get this checked out a.s.a.p. You probably need different inhalers or even a trip to hospital for iv injections to clear your chest - pleeeeease follow this up.

Ask your doctor to give you Ferrous sulphate 200mg tablets. They work wonders for me!

Good luck

Guido

Hope your feeling better soon, my breathing got worse but this was due to having flu
