Steph, Have you suffererd from asthma before ? Either way, get yourself to A&E. paul

Yes if your breathing is so bad ring an ambulance if they can't stabalise it at home they will take you to the hospital and they will sort you out in no time. They don't mind. don't wait till next week get it sorted now. Germaine x

Steph Are you listening to us lot please please call them your OH doesn't want you to be ill does he and you could be sorted for chrimbo and all those parties

im short of breath at the moment, but am managing to breath if you get what i mean, but yesterday it felt like i was taking the air in but it wasnt going anywhere

Steph, if you feel really ill and cant breathe call an ambulance. My sister has had asthma for years and it can be dangerous if your oxygen levels drop too much. I dont want to scare you but if the inhaler isnt helping you obviously need more treatment. Sheila x

ok no money, then call an ambulance, if you cant breathe they will treat you and if need be take you to hospital.

I had to argue with my doctor to listen to my breathing, she thought it was anxiety attacks, which they are def not, and i dont have any money on me to get anywhere xx

I agree with June, you MUST get attention today do not ignore the symptoms. xxhugxx

I agree with Dawn and June. If it's getting worse I don't think you shoud wait until next wednesday. Helenxx

Steedie, Get back to the doctors or better still go to the hospital emergency department. Dont want to alarm you but I think you need some treatment. June xx

If you are using it that often and feeling like that go to A&E you cant wait for the tests you need to get sorted asap. Take care dawnie

it was awful. Im having to have a squirt atleast once an hour, very short of breath, even if i just get up and move, so work told me to stay at home again x

Poor Steedie! That must have been very scary. How do you feel now? Helenxx

To cut a long story short, I went to the Doctors on Wednesday to get help with my breathing.During the day, and night at times my throat closes up and I cant breth properly without the help of my boyfriends Asthma inhaler. My doc listened to my breathin and prescribed me an asthma pump only normally used during ‘attacks’ and booked me up for some ‘tests’ next Wednseday. I didn’t have any money to get the inhaler on Wednesday so had to wait till yesterday. I was up all night with breathing problems, then at about 9.00 it turned nasty and I was struggling to breath. So I got dressed, and a five minute walk took me fifteen minutes to get down to Boots. When I got there I asked for the inhaler asap, they could tell I couldn’t breath but still said no and that id have to wait. I sat down and as I started to black out I heard an old lady shout out that I was going Blue. The pharmacist casually walked over and handed me the pump I needed. It took about over ten ‘squirts’ for me to get my breath back. I have never been so scared in my life. I don’t even know if it was an Asthma attack as ive never suffered with it before. xxx
