We aim to review anyone with asthma on an annual basis and more frequently if your asthma is not well controlled. If you have any of the following then please consider coming to our clinic, as your asthma treatment may need reviewing:
- Cough at night.
- Shortness of breath at work/school or when exercising.
- Persistent Cough, wheeze, tightness, or shortness of breath during the day.
If you need to use your Salbutamol (blue) inhaler more than twice a week then it may imply your asthma is poorly controlled.
If you need further advice or information then please feel free to book an appointment at the clinic.
For further information on asthma please visit the Asthma UK website.
We also monitor patients who suffer from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This includes patients with conditions such as bronchitis, emphysema, “farmers lung” and bronchiectasis.
If you have had a cough for more than 6 weeks, experienced any shortness of breath or wheeze then please call us to arrange some breathing tests (Spirometry) and a review in the chest clinic.
