Hard to breathe whilst climbing

***UPDATE***

If I could have a headline for the update it would be "Doctor scores 10/10 in recent visit - restored my faith in NHS"

Just got back from the doctors - he did the normal tests, ears, temperature and pulse. Checked my breathing on both sides and everything seemed fine. However, I've been given an inhailer to try next time it happens, although he thinks it unlikely it will help. He's given me an appointment card for the hospital to get a chest x-ray done so that's where i'm going now - he spoke to a few other doctors online and they were equally stumped so it looks like it could be a while before we find any answers. But at least they're on the case.

I thought my "condition" would be met with advice of stop riding so hard but that was not the case. The doctor really was great, he spent a long time discussing things and going through various scenarios. I didn't expect to be fixed today, but I really didn't expect the doctor to come across like he actually cared and empathised with the problem that I was having. Where can I email my feedback on the doctor, if only all NHS doctors were as good I'm sure peoples opinion of the NHS would differ dramatically.

You can actually review your local surgery on the NHS website. Find your local surgery on Google by typing in the name of doctor's surgery and put site:nhs.uk in the search box.

My experience with my doctor has been really poor. My local surgery has terrible reviews so it's not just me.
