Has your GP had any tests done? If he is struggling why not ask for a referral to see a pulmonary consultant. On a positive note, it's good that they are not jumping to conclusions and giving a diagnosis they are unsure of.

That is the route I would go. You can also ring the BLF helpline for advice. 03000 030 55 during office hours.

Hello Lightup45 . I also think a referral to a clinic would be in your best interest. I am so sorry you had a bad fall. I hope you aren't too badly hurt. Please take it easy and take care.
