My asthma/sinusitis/post nasal drip has become so bad I need more help. My gp referred me back to the hospital but I’m still waiting for an appointment. 3 months overdue. I’m having regular attacks and copious amounts of mucus.
Anyone seen a private consultant in the southwest (I’m Devon). I’m struggling to live a decent life right now.
Thanks.

This is terrible. More people are having to go private to get an appointment or even surgery. A family friend just went private to have surgery otherwise she faced a three year waiting list. Hopefully someone will be able to answer your question and you'll be able to get the help you need. Sending you lots of good wishes 🐑
You could try looking up details of the local hospitals particularly university hospitals- is there one in Exeter or over the border in a next door county. There should be lists of consultants for each department the hopefully you can look them up individually to see if they have reviews. You're wise to seek a recommendation here. Im about to look for a private GP. Very best wishes to you
PS the forum is often quieter at weekends so if little response post the same question in a couple of days.
Hi Lynnepin I have seen Dr. Hughes at Nuffield hospital Plymouth. He also works at Derriford hospital plymouth. I have seen him on a number of occasions over the years. Barbs x
Have you seen anybody at the hospital ? If so you could try contacting their secretary and telling them how bad you have become. I do sympathise with you as I suffered this for over 2 years and am just recovering from a sinus op, the relief is massive. I do hole you find a solution x
