Short of breath

[Mother Goose]

glad it's just a virus. Hope you do get over it quickly.

And never feel guilty about going to see a GP. If you need medical advice, you need medical advice. You don't have to be dead or dying to go! And it is always much much better to go and be checked out than having things progress into something more sinister!

And hon, if you've been sick and then jumped on the dance floor - of course you'll be more out of breath than normal! You're body is trying to recuperate and then you put it under more stress! LOL Your body is probably saying "LAY OFF WOMAN!"

So it's a week later (almost) and I am still not over this. I just had a coughing fit that if it didn't end I think I would have passed out, I couldn't breathe at all I'm embarrassed to go back to my GP though after getting the brush off last time. How long before I can reasonably go back and ask for further investigation? Or rather how long before I should stop feeling like this? Doc has told me not to take ventolin but I am doing it anyway, it's the only thing that helps.
