Overfilled Chest

[Richie527]

I’m newly on my Seretide and have a symptom I’m a bit concerned about. Not caused by the Seretide but I’m hoping it clears it up.

Does anyone here feel like their airways are too full? For me a symptom I’ve have is the feeling like there’s air stuck in the system and when I’m breathe in I’m trying to breathe on top of what’s stuck there. But what’s stuck there doesn’t come out.

It’s similar to eating food when I feel full up.

Hi, this is quite typical of uncontrolled asthma - air gets trapped in your small and/or large airways so you're not able to breath out (and therefore breathe in) enough air.

Is your reliever helping with this symptom? If it's not, I would give 111 a call or otherwise call your GP in the morning.

Yeah, I know that one. Most uncomfortable!
