Hi Amy, sorry to hear your asthma isn't behaving right. The pins and needles you are describing sound like a symptom you get from hyperventilation. This is something that everyone does from time to time and is something your doctor or asthma nurse may be able to help with.

Hope this helps

hi amy,

not sure bout the pins and needles, but i have been getting blue fingers?? i wondered if that was a new asthma related symptom too. i am not on seretide though.

pins and needles normally sign of reduced circulation or through hyperventilation, which we all get as she says, from time to time...

sorry i cant help, but wanted u to know, ur not alone :)
