Having said that I went about a year ago witha bad cough mainly at night that I'd had for a couple of months that I couldn't get rid of, was given anti biotics, cough stopped whilst taking them and returned immediately I finished. went back a month later, have some more antiB's same again, went back. Oh you have to give them time to work.... wait another 6 weeks no difference went with Siobhan one day as she wasn't well, saw a new doc
whilst there I started coughing...
Thats a bad cough he says
yep, had it for over a year now, 2 sets of antiBs aint shifted it.
Blow in this...
You've got mild asthma, use this inhaler at night and take one of these meters and keep a record of teh results.
end result, peak flow of 420 to start with is now 560 although at my age and height etc I should be > 600.
Still at least its sorted  |
Bet the last doctor you saw was younger that the one you'd been seeing previously Ian. People keep saying that asthma is on the increase, but the fact is that doctors are now diagnosing it, were as in the past they weren't. Your peak flow seem okay, mine, when I'm having a good day is only 370 should be 550, but there again my lungs only work at a quarter of of what they should do, in other words they're knackered
