I've just had an asthma review with the nurse (first time since changing GP surgeries). When I told her about my asthma, she seemed worried that it was not controlled with the medication I'm on. I take the symbicort steroid inhaler 2x puffs morning/evening, but am still using my blue inhaler fairly regularly. Also am waking up every evening with a 'sore' chest (in the middle sort of radiating outwards, very tight) and breathlessness which stops me going back to sleep. I am often breathless throughout the day as well. She wasn't happy that at old surgery I had been given lots of antibiotic/oral steroid courses without proper follow up.
This has really scared me, she is talking about referral to a specialist after the next appt (in one month) if nothing improves. She says if it is asthma, asthma meds will control it but seeing as they aren't it could be something rarer like fibroids.
Anyone with any advice? I have been sitting here googling symptoms since I've got back and it's freaking me out!
