I think your best bet would be to wait for diagnosis first (advice on this previously healthunlocked.com/blf/post... )

Let us know how you get on at your lung function test and do push for referral to a respiratory consultant.

I felt very ill before diagnosis, others do not feel ill even after diagnosis.

Those who continue to smoke and get repeated lung infections seem to deteriorate much more quickly.

You may be worrying yourself over things that may not apply to you at all. It can be a very big mistake to self diagnose and this can cause you added unnecessary stress.

Good luck with your lung function test results (is it this Friday)?

Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes BC

Hi Flowers89,

I know it is hard but PLEASE stop trying to guess what if anything is wrong with you, the internet is a wonderful source of information, but you have to be able to ask the relevant questions in order to find out the correct information. I truly wish you the very best outcome from your appointment, if you need any help with that come back and ask away xx

flowers89 in reply toKad21

not sure really just the thought of being ill i think as at the mo im pretty healthy apart from my breathlessness which has gone since using preventer even after 5 mins jogging on spot and walking up hill get a bit out of breath but recover within few mins but im nearly 60 so i expect that ,also for my age and height my peakflow should be 380 and its 240 in morning and goes up to 290/300 by lunchtime ,so i really dont know what is wrong,xx

I wish I had your lungs LOL I can only walk about 20m without having to stop for a rest and definitely have to rest on any incline, if your breathlessness has got better you may just have a chest infection, I will be thinking of you until you get your proper diagnosis xx, google something nice and have a great day xx
