    Default How bad does it have to be before you're treated?

    Last year I had a really bad chest/cough thing going on. Lasted for ages and I couldnt shake it. So I went to see the doctor (g.p) while I was there I had one of my many coughing fits and she thought she heard some stridor. She phoned the ent at the hospital and I got an appointment straight away. The registra put the scope down my throat and saw immediately that it was at 50%. She wanted to operate and had me admitted. Etc etc. I had a ct scan but the narrowing couldnt be seen. Then my usual nephrology consultant saw me and wasn't at all concerned nor was the ent consultant. Pretty much I think they both felt the registra had overreacted. The next day I was home. So now almost a year on - nothing. I have issues breathing and get puffed quickly. But there has been no further talk of operating etc. So how bad does it have to be before some thing is done? Would love to hear others experiences with stenosis issues. Cheers
