Sorry you're feeling unwell. What do you mean by saying your doctor told you to get an X-ray then go back? Did he refer you to the hospital for an X-ray? This would be the usual practice

Thinking of what you said your probably right X-ray and see what the out come is and take it from there. It just did not seem much at the time to me. Thanks for reply

Get your Xray,& make sure you get the result! Do look up on breathing exercises for when breathless, here or on u tube,so you won't feel it necessary to get home quickly,also do get a referral to a Breathe easy program,it will really help you,

Good luck< Wens xxx

Hi do you have a respiratory nurse? If so talk to them too they can sometimes hurry up your X-ray and results!
