My next GP appointment is on the 3rd of June. I was hoping to get one on the week beginning the 18th of this month. Oh well, it's just to evaluate my blowing-into-something readings so I'll have more of those to evaluate better, but it's fairly certain I'll be getting referred to a respiratory department anyway.
I really do think some people would be better just sitting out at A&E for a day to speed things along if they're more serious seeming than I am. I still can't run without being worryingly out of breath, but have found a way to manage the gym by taking ultra long rests between sets.
As my inhaler doesn't work that does seem to rule out asthma, so I'm pleased at that. Didn't help that I wasn't using it properly mind (how hard could it be I thought).
