I’m guessing you have asthma rather than COPD?

Did the doctor say anything about your eosinophil count? I ask because my last count was 0.3 and puts me at border of referral for biologics.

Have you measured your peak flow before?

It’s a good idea to measure it before and about 10 minutes after your meds...or ventolin if you use that often, to see if it’s helping. Do you know what your personal best peak flow is?
