Peak Flow good but still feel bad

My asthma's been getting troublesome this week, really uncomfortable, but my peak flow is between 400-450, which is really good. I'm confused - can I have a good peak flow but still be having an attack my reliever doesn't help? And if so, what do I do?

I don't find my peak flow is always a very good indication of how I am. I have had a good peak flow in the morning before and then woken up in re-sus by the evening. If you're struggling I would go to the doctors, it might be that you've picked up an infection low down in your lungs which may not get picked up with your peak-flow readings and having someone listen to your chest just to check is always quite reassuring.

Hi Guys,

my p/flows stay on the low side, when they go up i usually start having asthma attacks.If your getting good p/flows but you feel bad its a sign something is wrong, i agree with the others i would go and see your gp/nurse and get checked out. It will give you peace of mind at least and its better to be on the safe side.

Take care.
