It’s bad but it hasn’t stopped me from carrying on with my day to day, nothing a few puffs of inhaler plus tablets can’t get me back to normal, however temporary it is.
I think they have started non emergency out patient appts in the last couple of weeks.
I wanted to rearrange another out patient appt (for my knee) I was supposed to have mid March, and they were quite arsey about it, I managed to use my asthma as an excuse...
If I had to go, I’d do the usual mask and gloves, but I really don’t see how someone can check out my asthma without being pretty close to me and have me remove my mask AND I’d have to do loads of those stupid breathe in and out and in and out stuff, plus cough on request.
The whole thing is really rather ironic if you think about it. 🤣

Ah yes the civilized human brain and risk, while after some deliberations with a group of fellow cyclists stranded as myself at the side of Oak Hill Road Stapleford Abbotts, and the help of a very nice resident of this place and his son, I was in no doubt to take the Uber they got me to the UCH Euston A&E department on Sunday afternoon three weeks ago, I found my meandering mind thinking whether the doctors floating out really needed to have had their morning brief in the same consultation room I was going to enter as the first scheduled outpatient this Thursday morning.

I'm guessing this is beyond blue and brown inhaler management? Breathing is important, I'd go for the appointment.

One more thing to mention is that in the case of the particular hospital I have been hanging out at, they have plenty of wards and services that haven't even registered a single case of covid. Nobody can deny that visiting a hospital is higher risk, but they're not as riddled as I previously assumed.
For what it's worth, the only bit of the hospital where we couldn't distance and felt at risk was A&E

It depends how bad your asthma gets. What advice are hospitals giving now for visits is it emergency only? Or is it relaxed slightly.
If you do go just take as much precautions as you can. I would call hospital and get them to asses the risks.
Good luck
