Good morning! Just a quick (& hopefully easy!) question..... when you say your “personal best” in terms of peak flow readings, does that include after reliever pump?
For example (& I am only new to asthma) my peak flow readings range from 280 to 350 over the last 4 weeks, but after ventolin I’ve read 400. So is my personal best 400?
Might be a really thick question so I apologise in advance 😂
As far as I know it's the best you can get at any time including after reliever- not a dumb question though at all! I think the idea is that's the best you are capable of and the reliever should be restoring you to that - with the ideal obviously being that your preventer alone should keep you at or near your best without reliever.
I have a personal best much higher than my predicted but atm can't get there lr anywhere near it without reliever - and times when I'm nowhere near even *with* the reliever or a nebuliser, so I do count it as my best.
Thank you! I’m a scientist and I end up overanalysing everything 😂
I work in science/medical communications so I do the same! Drives me nuts when I run across doctors who are very unscientific eg everyone should be average...nope that is not how stats work.
Covid or chest infection?
Spirometry results... can anyone read results?
Asthma Drs do they know. 
Peak flow higher in the evening
Asthma and feeling low and poorly
