Question

Just a quick question.....

I am seeing my doc tomorrow, as usual, appointments are rarer than rocking horse you know what.
I have been suffering from mild chest pains recently, being asthmatic I have assumed that it is part of that.....for the last two days it has been getting worse. Today, I cannot walk far without feeling like passing out, yet my peak flow is not that bad at 350 (average).......been feeling really tired, achy and I have a mild sore throat.

Any ideas?

If you're still as bad as that you should get someone to drive you to the hospital. Could be a cardiac arythmia of some sort? You need an ECG.

Let us know how you get on

I thought of driving myself to hospital, but I am not safe to drive, I am waiting for the person I lodge with to arrive back so I can ask him to take me.

In all honesty, I don't wish to go if I am going to be wasting time, after all, that is why we have GP's isn't it.

I have called work and nformed them, as usual getting a response like they don't believe me

Michelle - the symptoms are consistent with a serious heart problem. You need to get there ASAP. Call a cab?

Get a taxi to the hospital and then explain to the nurse on duty at the A&E about your chest pains. You should be seen ASAP as with chest pains you go to the top of the list.

Judging by the company, you probabily caught something in Tut's jacuzzi!

Now where are those photos?

Michelle,

Is your Peak flow average for an asthamtic? Mine's over twice your amount

Anyway, hope you get better soon,

Typically it should around 490 for my height etc, etc.

I found that I managed 550 when I was feeling very well, my lowest being 75

My average is around 400, but with it being hayfever season I usually strike around 300-350. I know it sounds stupid, but I hate dosing myself up on medication.

Did you get a chill in the Jacuzzi?

Maybe that or something else had some effect on your chest?

Si,

Where have the photo's gone?

I suppose if anyone wanted to see them they could always checkout Tut Towers on Yahoo groups!
