Taken nearly five years.

my visit to Brompton on Thursday was one l was not expecting. Having follow up appointments for September already so when the consultant said were discharging you back into your local hospital, l was not prepared. After nearly five years attending appointments, tests and a, two day admission for tests they have come to an answer. That being l have irregular breathing pattern, and not getting enough oxygen in. They admitted they went around the mulberry bush to get to this answer , but its good to have one finally. Best bit no more long trips to London.

Has anyone else have this or heard of it?

A friend of mine has a very rare form of asthma which took nearly 20 years to sort out! I am very pleased you have an answer at last.
