Jeanette Pearce would you not be better getting advice first from NHS111? Or is it more urgent than that?Comment

SueM - I will wait to speak to my respiratory nurse tomorrow,,, Not had this issue before and it’s been tiring trying to move off the raspy noise from my chest, I don’t feel NHS 111 would be MND minded. Thank you for helping me out thoughI have the ability to cope with this and I can still be the best person I can be. This is my life - if I am happy others around me are happy tooComment

Jeanette, if you feel your breathing is in any way compromised, seek help. You might have a chest infection.

When you talk to the Respiratory Nurse tomorrow Jeanette Pearce , ask for a Cough Assist machine, it sounds like you would benefit from using one.
