Hi does anyone know of a telephone number for calling a ambulance if you cant speak?

[soul-123]

Came close this morning due to exacerbation and low oxygen levels of 75 managed to get them up to 88 on rest eventually. Phoned respiratory and left a message re the same, just concerned it happens again Started rescue pack yesterday hopefully i can improve without any further intervention.!

I found this website about your question, but you have to register your mobile number with that Service! Hope that helps 🙏🚦❤️

Depends if you have a mobile you could do this, but I have another look! ☺️

Could you not chat online with 111 on the NHS website? If you think you need an ambulance service urgently?

I cant remember how I found the service but if you Google your question you should find the website where you can log your details, phone /mobile number, postcode etc. Once you find it it's very easy. P

Was on tv ring 999 and then press 55 when they answer they know then you can't speak and help will be dispatched . Hope that helps

That is also when you in a abusive relationship and need urgent help isn't it! I forgot about that! Thanks for reminding me! But isn't police alerted at the same time?🤷

The police might be needed to gain entry, should it be required, a good thing, as it would save time in an emergency situation.

[Snowdrops_17 in reply to 2greys]

True, very true 2greys 👍☺️

That's for when someone is in danger not medical. Police will be informed. 😱😱

Normally if you ring 999 and keep the line open they send an ambulance anyway. As others have suggested pressing 55 will let them know you cannot communicate.

if you ring from a mobile or any other phone if you prest 555 they well come to you

I would suggest you getting a lifeline

lifeline24.co.uk/medi-alert/

You get a medic alarm device and a bracelet that you can activate anywhere within your home, if you cannot speak they will advise the ambulance service.

They can even secure a keysafe on the wall outside your home with a combination number that they will also hold and can give to any of the emergency services, so that your home isn't damaged forcing entry.

It costs me around £11 a month I think it is, and they will check with you monthly as well.

Gosh thats a worry and something I have never thought about, it seems like you have a couple of solutions on here. I do hope you dont have that problem and you get better soon. Take good care x

Update my partner called a ambulance when my breathing got worse the paramedics were great got me onto the ambulance and gave me a nebuliser. We got to the hospital and went straight to the green zone in a/e promptly got sent out of there to the red zone which is what i have been avoiding the hospital for, as i had not got a temperature and knew i was having a bad exacerbation .In this area no one was wearing ppe only masks i had two more nebulisers .To cut a long story short when i heard a doctor telling the patient in the opposite bed he is to go home and contact 119 track and trace and isolate as he was showing symptoms of covid i was not tested or him i promptly discharged myself.
