hi
If you need help then get it sooner rather than later. They will understand, whether its walk-in or A+E+, take care and get better soon.

Go to walk-in if you're capable, A&E if you're not.
Lost count of the amount of times I've gone to walk-in and been told ""you shouldn't have left it this late."" Remember, attacks can build up over a period of hours or even days - the longer you leave it, the worse it's possibly going to get. Hopefully not, but that's my pattern!!
NEver, ever, ever feel bad about wasting their time. Asthma is too volatile - and as my GP keeps telling me - better a short visit to a walkin, a quick listen to the chest and some pred, than a blues and twos situation culminating in an admission. :o)
Good luck, and feel better!!
