low peak flow

1 Reply

I was diagnosed with asthma in May this year, today I received a peak flow meterI tried it this evening and it was 130 before my inhalers and 160 after, this seems to be a little low, but I know my asthma is not well controlled due to it not being diagnosed for a long time, probably years. So is this normal at the beginingI take formotérol 12mcgs and beclométhasone 400mcgs 2x a day and bricanyl as a relief usually once a day; during or after exercise or physical work.I would like opinions from more experienced long term suffers as you are the most experienced.
