How long before my lungs recover?

[OrmIrian]

I had a chest infection after a viral cold sort of thing just before Christmas. I am also an athsmatic but generally I've not had a problem with that. It's been 4 weeks now and I'm still struggling when I run. It feels as if I have no 'stretch' in my lungs and I get exhausted. Is that just one of those things or should I go back to my GP?

I'd appreciate anyone's opinion as it's beginning to get me down

my son has asthma so i would suggest you go and get discussing how you are feeling and what to expect, also any changes to meds to help you recover and be more comfortable. The nhs is for stuff like this.

Yes I suppose it is milou. Thanks. I would love to get back to the way I was before christmas.

Now... to try and get an appointment...

Good luck with getting a bit of health care.
