Hi ladies I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but it's the only one in my hub that I felt I can get help and support from

I had to phone my doctors about a week ago to find out and book my annual reviews. As the receptionist was going through the reviews I'm due, I had to double check one with her as I wasn't sure if I misheard her or not, so I said,"did you say COPD?"

and the receptionist said that she did and I'd said that I have never been diagnosed with COPD.

I have asthma which is my only respiratory condition.

The receptionist was really nice and helpful as she booked me in for my reviews I knew I had and to ask the nurse about the COPD as it maybe a mistake, which I am hoping it is.

Has anyone been told that they this or something similar even though you have never been diagnosed with the condition before?

It's not the first time I've found something out about myself as i had my work capability assessment done a few months ago and as I was talking to the health care worker she said that on my medical report that she had in front of her it says that I have a learning disability or difficulty (I can't remember which) and she asked me at least twice if I knew what it was and I'd told her honestly that I didn't know as I didn't even know that I had been diagnosed with a learning disability or difficulty.

I have requested them, but I've not had a response from them yet.

I'm going to message them when I get home as I'm visiting my fiancé's family at the moment and not due to go home until the 26th.

Don't worry COPD is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease of your lungs which can be caused by long term Asthma as it means that your lung tissue and airways are less elastic and don't expand so easily when you breathe. You can live with it with the right treatment from your medical team. I did work in health. Keep positive. Good Luck
