I’m taking symbicort 200/6 I started as 1 puff twice a day but was told to bump it up to 2 puffs twice a day when I need to. (Usually this time of year as my hay fever plays up !)
Does 2 puffs twice a day put me in the group that needs to shield ? My asthma is normally fine and I don’t suffer badly from it, I normally only have to use my blue inhaler if I’ve been somewhere that’s dusty.
I don’t experience any problems when exercising and did have a very active job until we had to work from home. I am worried if I have shield then I won’t be able to go running or exercise and this will make me feel worse.
I’ve been following social distancing strictly and working from home , but will I be ok to go for a walk?
Thank you so much x
