Thank you. Ok I have asthma. Usually only suffer in extremes for example am fine until I get a cold then need hospital by ambulance and nebulizer etc.
Now I feel very very unwell.
Feel pain all over my body behind my eyes throat is beyond painful. Chest pain. My chest feels really really tight however I am not wheezing or anything. The odd hacking cough.
Co codamol is not touching it.
I just want lo close my eyes
Can asthma do this? Only ever known it to cause me breath difficulty and wheezing. This hurts to breathe in |

If I was you I would ring NHS direct, not sure if it is asthma related, your asthma souinds like mine.
Ring them, it can't do any harm, please keep in touch |

I agree, the worst I have ever been was when I was first diagnosed, just felt like a chest infection as was struggling to breath, but there is a horrible virus going around which a lot of your symtoms sound like, but I would phone if you are worried, better safe than sorry x |

I'd say you got a chest infection, however ring the NHS direct line.. I did once when I was suffering really bad with a virus. A doc came to my house as I was having trouble breathing. Its not something that can be diganosed over the internet. |

If you have had the flu recently it might have affected your heart. I don't mean to scare you but it does happen and you really ought to at least call NHS direct for advice. I know you are stuck at home with your kids but if it gets worse suddenly you would have to go to hospital anyway, it would be better to be in some control of the situation wouldn't it? |

not bein rude or alarmist here but _iew does have a point.
You have a respiratory problem already and now a potential chest infection.
my uncle died of an asthma attack. many people underestimate how serious asthma is. |

need to ring nhs direct and they will take the 'what to do next' problem out of your hands .. you sound very much like me who avoids doctors at all costs but there are occasions when you should seek advice. Asthma can kill people so its probably a good idea never to underestimate it. Hope you feel well soon |

If you are having problems leaving and can't leave the house.. they assess you they either say phone an ambulance or they send a doc out... I have never felt so rough. Just phone the NHS line... As people may have the same symptoms and have been diganosed however you may have something different. The internet is not the place for medical diganosis... |

I have had chronic asthma and chest issues all of my life, what you are describing sounds viral/bacterial and not caused by asthma but your asthma/breathing will be affected and I suggest NHS Direct or A&E. |

It may be bronchitis, bronchiolitis, pleurisy of many other things.
I have all of the above, and all need treatment, pleurisy specifically can make you feel the way you are, you need to phone now... |

Predisplone is oral steroids - I've had them when I get a chest infection which my asthma spray won't relieve - and antibiotics to get rid of the infection. Steam inhalation can help relive the tightness on the chest as well |
