problems with low peak flow

Hello,

I am fairly new to this forum. I am asthmatic and I have been suffering with it for my entire life. I had some episode of 'chest infection' 10 days ago. I feel I have recovered from that and have little symptoms but for some reason I can't get more than 250 on my peak flow since.. (normal being over 400). I usually recover from infections quickly and my peak flow picks up within days but this time it's just not moving on. I also get lots of aches in my joints and feel very tired. has anyone had similar problems?

Thank you for any response

Your peak flow is nowhere near your normal, so please go see your GP first thing in the morning.

As for achy joints and feeling very tired, I get that with/after chest infections and achy muscles too. Could be the viral thing or the pred.

I hope you get better soon and back to normal. xx

Thanks Lou. I will contact my GP today to see if they have any ideas about my peak flow and hope the answer won't be more pred!

Take care and have a nice day
