The doctor put me on a medication Gabapentin for another problem.My chest went tight then really puffed and blue lips at work for 15 minutes.Had to ring doctor and stop the meds.Asthma puffed now and big Nellie on my chest.My Hospital asthma team know about my blue lips and pic of me in my notes with blue lips and have a action plan.Just hate how meds react with asthma.

Oooo glynis that sounds horrid :-(

I hope you're feeling better now and that Dr can find an alternative med to help.

It is a pain, I have back problems and would be good at times to take ibuprofen but its a big no no for me due to asthma reaction.
