  • Welcome to the late-onset asthma club. Mostly rubbish, but once in a while, if you get very wheezy, they give you steroids. My experience of GPs was a bit hit or miss - if it is asthma make sure you get a referral to an asthma clinic /nurse.

  • I had a couple of chest x-rays, I think to check for lung herpes or chest AIDS or something.
    These get back to my GP in a week and who knows what happens then.
    The prescription for Sal I can pick up from the local pharmacy. It's WADA legal if you use less than 16 puffs a day or something.

    What concerns me is the fact that I'm at 70% of capacity, when rested, in a warm building. That shit's not right.

    That's why they X-Rayed you. If you had >90% most of the time and then just crashed to 50% reliably with known triggers, they would have pretty much nailed the asthma diagnosis without going to the hospital.
