Wheezing! (in me, not DS)

[Koshka]

hello,

i am having troubles!

i have a dry cough and sometimes i have coughed until i am sick.
Also when i breath i am 'wheezing' in and out. i am breathless and my chest hurts if i breath in deeply and when i cough.

i cannot get a GPs appt for at least this week.

i went to the pharmacy and she couldnt help me (she said)

do you think it is worth calling the OOH GPs tonight? Or just wait?

Help!

I would phone up the GP and ask for an emergency appointment, you could do with checking over as soon as possible and given a prescription for a ventolin inhaler. Phone them up and tell them that you are tight chested, wheezy and in pain. They should see you as a priority.

thank you avenanap.

oh and i love your name!

Agree with avenanap.
You need to be seen as a priority.

If you can't get an appointment go to A&E, they should see you. The wheezing does warrant this I'm afraid. Letme know how things go.

thanks. thought it was just me being stupid.

its just never had a tight chest before so it is a bit scary!

It's OK. ds has asthma. He gets like this. Best not to leave it.

DS2 has asthma.
He had wheezing and chest pains last night.
He spent a few hours in hospital on a nebuliser and being monitored.
He's much better today.

Your GP surgery should take your symptoms seriously, and give you an emergency appointment.

You'll feel lots better once they've sorted your breathing out.

went to docs.
said could be a virus bronchitus.

he could give me an inhaler to help me breath but aparently i dont need it.

I CANT FU**iNG BREATH!!!!

there aere about 20 steps up to the surgery and i nearly died going up them.

can hardly breath i want to cry, and now my mum thinks im some saddo who feels sorry for herself!

Phone NHS Direct or see your out of hours service for a second opinion.

I don't want to worry you but dh ended up calling an ambulance for me when I was like this once.

Is your breathing also pretty shallow?

Koshka, go to OOH doctor or A&E.

Go to A&E. Did he do a peak flow?

hello!

i called OOH GP and they put me on a ventilator, did peak flow and gave me an inhaler, anti biotics and steroids too.

bit of a difference to the GP eh?

felt so lovely when i had the ventilator on. i want one

oh and thank you for your advice.

your messages helped me bully my mum into taking me to the OOH doctor!

sooooo glad you went, and that you're feeling better.
those nebulisers are amazing, aren't they?

I'm glad you went Koshka.

I was prescribed all sorts of medication too.

Hopefully you'll feel better in a couple of days. Take it easy!

I'm so pleased you are feeling better.
