Do you have a cough that won’t go away or has lasted more than 3 weeks?
A persistent cough can be linked to asthma, infection, reflux, bronchiectasis, lung cancer or other lung conditions. If it is not improving, it is worth investigating.
Are you feeling short of breath during daily activity or at rest?
Breathlessness may be caused by asthma, infection, airway disease, scarring, heart-related problems or other medical conditions, and should not be ignored.
Do you notice wheeze, chest tightness or asthma-like symptoms?
Wheeze or tightness can suggest asthma, COPD or other airway inflammation. Early assessment helps clarify the diagnosis and guide the right treatment.
Do you have a chest infection that keeps lingering despite treatment?
A chest infection that is slow to clear may need further assessment to look for an underlying cause or to decide whether more tests are needed.
Have you had more than 2 chest infections in a year?
Recurrent chest infections can sometimes point to bronchiectasis, immune problems or another underlying lung condition that should be investigated.
Do you need a second opinion about a diagnosis, scan result or treatment plan?
A second opinion can help confirm a diagnosis, explain test results clearly and give reassurance about the best next steps or treatment options.
