Thankfully my recent blood tests have shown my heart is healthy. My issues are allergy related - my sinuses are draining into my throat and causing my breathing difficulties. Unfortunately despite being on a high dose of symbicort I can only vigorously exercise while I am taking prednisilone.
Has anybody else had anything similar?

Hi - I am having lots of problems with allergies just now. I'm on symbicort 400 6puffs a day for now and montelukast and antihismine and am just finishing 3rd course of pred. I am struggling every time I go out side with oilseed rape all around and gorse and broom. In the mornings it feels like me chest is glued shut with all the gunk - yuck. The only exercise I am managing is yoga...
I am trying to cut out sulphites to see if that helps me as I react very randomly to lots of different food (sadly including wine)
I'm seeing asthma nurse on Wed and doc on Friday, hoping they have a bright idea for getting rid of these allergies
Hope you are feeling better soon. I do not like taking the prednisilone- this will be my fifth course in a year but sadly it's the only thing that works.
