went to my GP with chest pains and random shortness of breath, as well as a Pulse rate of '180' bpm!! I was told it was a chest infection, Given Antibiotics and sent away. Went back(saw a different doctor) and was told the same again. Went back a month later and a different GP told me I had Asthma and put me on Brown and Blue inhalers. No change! Went back and was given 'Purple inhaler' and Steroid tablets. No Change again. Went to see the Asthma Nurse and she agreed with me, when I said it didn't feel like Asthma and then she referred me to a Chest Specialist. After 3 or 4 X-rays a few weeks apart, my '3' Gp's were still telling me the same thing. However, after a CT scan, the specialist, assuming I already knew, told me about the 'SHADOWS' that I have on both lungs. They were visible on all the X-rays yet my '3' Gp's said nothing and just kept sending me off with boxes of pills. One of the Gp's even prescribed Penicillin, which I am VERY allergic to. Its on the PC screen in RED letters. ALLERGIES!! What should I do now as I'm sick of been fobbed off with a chest infection and a box of pills and my chest is getting worse. Chest infections don't last 4 years. Any advice welcome. Thanks all. The materials in this web site are in no way intended to replace the professional medical
