I had asthma as a child, it started after a bout of the measles (I was born pre-MMR). I was on ventolin and becotide until I left home.
I've wheezed on and off as an adult but last summer felt quite poorly so went to the GP.
First GP was unhelpful and told me he couldn't hear my chest with my newborn wailing Second GP got me to do a peak flow test which was 'the best he'd ever seen'. I play woodwind instruments and breathe using my diaphragm, which might explain this. But I'm no further forward in terms of preventing wheezing.
I am having a really uncomfortable evening with wheezing and itching and wondered if anyone could advise me as to how to get help for my asthma? I've got an emergency ventolin inhaler, but I'd really like to control it better.
