Excellent phone appointment

Evening all as Dixon of Dock Green would say if you are old enough to remember it!

My consultation went really well. She thinks that I don't have asthma (which I was seeing treated for but never had any problems) because all my lung function tests are over 100% for my age, height, weight etc. I am going to start reducing my inhaler from 2 puffs twice a day, to 1 puff twice a day etc over a week. So hopefully, that will be one less "problem" that I have! She agrees with me that my chest infections were my bronchiectasis and my breathlessness on slopes is due to my fenestrated hole in my heart, which is being sorted at the Liverpool Heart Hospital. So once that is sorted I should be a new woman :)
