Hi to all. I was told I had asthma when I was 33 years old and have been on inhalers for years but they never actually helped my asthma. I didn't feel any better on the inhalers when I was sent to the hospital. I was told I didn't have asthma but I was never told what my problem was. I keep getting breathless with activity, coughing up phlegm, have a tight chest and my peak flow keeps going so low. It was 165 earlier and has been as low as 70 before. This is really stressful and I am supposed to be going to see a cardiologist. I keep getting palpitations and my heart racing but don't know when I will get my appointment. I've been asking for months to be seen.
What can I do? I have been like this for ages waiting for GP to phone, but it has not happened yet.
