Gingernut,
Well done you read my mind.
Went to the GP today and now have a marvelous concoction of drugs to combat the bronchitis. It would appear that there is little that can easily be done to prevent the onsets of the bronchitis, but there is little to raise alarm bells about any long term impact on my lifestyle.
With regards to the asthmatic tendancies, I have to go back next week. I have never suffered from an asthma attack, so my "condition" is diagnosed as hyperreactive bronciols (spelling?). Basically if I laugh too hard I cough my guts up and likewise if I go running in the cold and then go indoors the same happens. The thing is at no point during the exercise is my breathing affected/restricted. Whilst this is a symptom of asthma, failing any other symptoms, we are just looking to treat what we know whic will be an inhaler for those moments when my lungs react to the changes in atmosphere.
I still don't know how this would affect a class 1 medical, my guess is not much, but at least my notes don't say I have been diagnosed with asthma. Unfortunately they do point to 3 bouts of acute bronchitis in the last 10 months. On checking back, I had bouts in Dec 03, March 04 and Dec 04. Ho hum.
Thanks all for the advice, I will report back after my next visit.
Just how much of this should I make my AME aware of?
