New diagnosis

[Gill1965]

Hi, my hubby is newly diagnosed in UK. Was given a new inhaler and tablets to thin mucus and that's it, no referral to hospital, no tests. He is very overweight and currently waiting for a gastric bypass. I just feel that docs are not bothered because of his weight. He has has asthma all his life but contacted legionnaires disease last year on holiday and has been a lot worse s Ince wnith breathing. Anyone think he should be having more tests??

Hi Gill I've got copd and all I've had is inhalers and when had flare up antibiotics and steroids never been examined couldn't do test cos I had infection I think it depends what doc you have some just fob u off u need someone whose a specialist I'm gonna demand to get referred to one when I go docs Wednesday fed up off being fobbed off with antibiotics all time hope everything goes well
