Infuriating Asthma Appointment
So i had a follow-up appointment with my asthma consultant at the hospital today and he told me that he doesn't think I have asthma despite the fact that I have been diagnosed asthmatic most of my life and that I don't need to take inhalers or nebulisers or use steroids and antibiotics. He believes this

Recurring chest infections and phlegmy cough
Hi, I have had asthma since I was a teenager and excema all my life. I am 57 years old. For most of my life, I have managed my asthma well. I was very sporty in my youth playing squash, badminton and tennis. I could go for very long walks with my dogs up until about 18mths ago. So I have always regarded

Exhausted
I’ve had a particularly rough time recently with asthma attacks. I’ve currently got no infections, and my peak flow and vitals are fine the last few days, but I feel absolutely exhausted from an asthma attack last week. It’s to the point where I have to lie down after even going down the stairs. How

BRONCHIECTASIS….PLUS Allergic to medical face mask…any non polypropylene/TPE ones available?
Hi I’m having a nightmare with my bronchiectasis, I’ve had numerous exacerbations this year, use my rescue pack and prednisone when needed…cant remember being well in all honesty. I had HIB in April and given Levofloxacin as Doxycycline won’t shift my HIB. Think I had HIB in 2015, 2016, 2018 and 2023

Asthma attacks
Hi everyone, I’ve got adult onset asthma and I’ve been struggling with several asthma attacks this year where I feel short of breath and very wheezy. My oxygen has always been ok-ish (always above 93% and was above 96% on recent attack). I’m wondering if anyone else experiences this (asthma attacks

Can allergies lead to fever?
Hi, I have a strange situation that has happened 3 times since May. I am sick, with chills, fever, headache, general achiness, sore throat, fatigue… fever goes up to about 101.. All 3 times, I went for a long walk on a very windy breezy day when there was a lot of pollen flying around. I was sick

Chest Clinic
My GP/ Asthma Nurse has referred me to the Chest Clinic at the hospital because my scores at my last asthma check-up were pretty low, and I've got my appointment on Wednesday, but I'm not sure what I should mention. I get frequent flare-ups and chest infections- flare-ups probably between every 4-6 weeks

Is there a firm way to distinguish sinus issues from asthma symptoms
This might sound like a stupid question but I have a nasal condition - chronic rhinitis with polyps which is relatively managed however my nose/nasopharynx has changed somehow in the past year in that it makes whistling noises when I breath in. Particularly my left nostril it feels a bit like breathing

contrast dye
Hi, I have Sjogren’s and osteoporosis among other things. I’m due to have a CT scan on my lungs with contrast dye. I suffer with many allergies and wondered if anyone on here has had an adverse reaction to this iodine based dye? Many thanks 😊

Variable Asthma and pain medication.
Good day to everyone, I hope you are all taking good care, especially with the warm weather! I would like to ask people from the community about pain medication and Asthma. I have a variable asthma of 5%, diagnosed at the same time as copd. 6 weeks ago I ended up in A&E with severe pain in my leg

Anyone else have Eosinophilic Asthma with chronic rhinosinusitis?
Shortly after my 5th stomach operation (4 failed for acid reflux) I was told I had Bronchiectasis along with mild asthma this was after being taken to hospital as could not breathe and blue ventolin did not work. This diagnosis eventually changed to Eosinophilic Asthma under my Respiratory Dept

Is eosinophilic asthma always severe?
I was wondering about the following 1) Does anyone know what percent of asthma is eosinophilic 2) what percentage of eosinophilic asthma is severe? I have looked at journal articles etc but couldn’t find an answer as different sites give totally different percentages

asthma and the seaside
Hi everyone I really struggle in the summer with my asthma, have tried all sorts such as Xolair which didn't work for me (not eligible for the other biologics apparently) It seems I'm just expected to get by on steroids and staying indoors. I find that my asthma is better at the seaside, I can only

Biologics
I've been referred to an Asthma specialist who will be seriously considering me for biologics. I'm 72 this year and have had asthma all of my life. I'm not too bad but I can feel things not quite right at all. I have done all the FEV stuff. I suppose I am quite fit for an asthmatic as I'm 5 ' 8
