Peak flow

[ked1941]

My peak flow is 150, is this a very bad reading?.

There is an asthma site on healthunlocked here is a link healthunlocked.com/asthmauk

I think ked has COPD so is in the right place.

The suggestion to ALSO use the Asthma site forum was to gain more information about the peak flow reading

Do you feel all right? Mine goes lower than that, but I don't measure my peak flow - it's sometimes done when I go for LFTs. Personally I wouldn't worry about it, but you haven't said very much about yourself?

Take care, Sue

Mine is about 100 on bad days and 250 on the best. I am slim, active and fairly fit but goodness knows how my body manages!

The results vary by age, gender & height - so

Hello ... my peak flow reading barely reached 100 on a good day so my dr doesn't even bother with it anymore & tends to go on how I feel in myself !! ... I do however remember a time when even though its still a low reading ... I felt quite well at 150 !! ... no-one knows your body better than yourself so as long as you feel well I wouldn't worry too much ... obviously if you feel more breathless than usual then go & see you dr xxx
