hippy-
I was about 14 I think. Wasn't referred anywhere, GP did it in-house. Might be different nowadays.

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but I had an episode of what I self-diagnosed as exercise induced bronchoconstriction (after chatting with some respiratory medicine colleagues). I got an appointment with my GP and they gave me the blue inhaler, with instructions to use it prophylactically if I felt I would be doing something which required it (I've always had crappy lung function tests, but just within the limits of normal). I was supposed to have a follow-up appointment, but I never had another episode, so didn't follow-up.

I have exercise-induced asthma, it can be quite painful, but since I stopped doing track and road during 1st year of University, I haven't been doing anything intensely enough to trigger it more than a few times. I had a blue Bricanyl (Terbutaline) inhaler and a daily Singulair tablet (instead of the preventative brown inhaler).
