[sassy59]

You need to seek medical advice now so phone 111 and see what they say.

Never think you are bothering anyone on here because you’re not. Here for you xxxx

[Dave6 in reply to sassy59]

thanks ill ring 111 if i can get my words out

[annienell in reply to Dave6]

They'll understand. Don't worry. Take it slowly. Tell them you can't breathe well. Is there anyone with you?

[Dave6 in reply to annienell]

Yes my daughter

[annienell in reply to Dave6]

That's good. I'm glad you're not on your own. If you decide to call 111 perhaps she could take over and speak to them if you find you are getting too breathless to speak.

[Lizzyblue in reply to Dave6]

If you can't get your words out you need an ambulance now

[annienell]

Good advice from Sassy to phone 111 straight away. Don't leave it till Monday. Come back later and let us know how you are. Take care, Annie

[peege]

I agree with sassy, don't hesitate to seek medical help - or to seek support &/or advice here 😃 good luck. P

[Caspiana]

I hope you are in good hands now Dave. Please let us know how you are when possible. xx

Not good to leave it. Best get some medical advice and or check up. Last time i rang up they came back to me 4 hours later. By that time it was 4 in the morning. So dont be supprised if you have to wait. Try to keep warm and just relax. Loosing control of your breathing is very frightening. I seem to be suffering lately. But have a nebuliser at home so can self treat to some extent. Hope your chest improves.

[alvorite in reply to hopetorun]

I have lost control of my breathing on 4 occasions and had to phone an ambulance (person with me phoned) I'm just wondering if anyone has any techniques that would stop me losing control as like you said it is very frightening

[Dave6]

Rang111 had a chat with a nurse and she has told me to go to the drop in/out of hours

[annienell in reply to Dave6]

That's good to hear. I'm glad you'll be seeing someone who can help you tonight. I'm sure they'll be able to give you some treatment that will help you feel much better quickly.

Let us know how you get on. Best wishes, Annie

How did your visit to the drop in centre go,, Dave6?

[Dave6]

hi all glad i took your advice and went to hospital Ive already lost my lower left lobe when i had my kidney removed and got a left hemispheric parallelized diaphragm and now i have lost my right middle lobe they have found minor ground glass change in the superior of the right lower lobe and posterior segment of the right upper lobe not sure what all this means

but at least its getting things sorted

Id just like to say a big thanks ton all of you im a bit sturbon when it comes to going to the DR never mind the ER

[annienell in reply to Dave6]

You're very welcome Dave. Thanks for letting us know how you are. I'm so glad that you went to the hospital when you did and that they have been sorting you out.

I think we're all guilty of putting off going to the doctor until we feel really bad and we need a shove in the right direction sometimes. Luckily there's always someone here ready to give good advice to anyone who asks.

Best wishes, Annie
