Any advice please?

50mcg of Fluticasone?

Have a hug! Inhaled steroids have almost no effect in long term use, but oral steroids do. Don't up or lower the dosage without checking with your Doctor. Asthma isn't all about the medicines you take; it is also to do with your state of mind. It looks as if you are anxious about going back to work and if so, you have to give yourself a good talking to, to get you relaxed and looking forward to it - though by the time you read this, you've already had your 1st day back and it was all fine! Take one day at a time - don't fret about what might go wrong, because it might not. Just enjoy today. And then enjoy tomorrow and so on. (If I knew how to put a smiley on here, I would.)

Chrissie raises some good points. The only thing I would add is 1, Is your peak flow ok? 2, Is your blue inhaler helping and how often are you using it and 3, Is this a sustained worsening or just a one off?

You have plenty of scope for increasing the inhaled steroid as 100mcg twice a day isn't a high dose at all but it probably wont be necessary. As Chrissie says, if your symptoms are sustained see the GP or asthma nurse.

Thanks for your replies guys! 😊 I had my first day back at work today, I was shaking like a leaf,but made it, wooohoooooo. I think I had stressed myself,( that and the fact I need to drink more) I'm just new to all this and really appreciate the advice, this site is great and everyone is so awesome! Take care all, oh and thanks for the hug chrissie 😊

Are you talking about a nasal spray.

Ok, I'm sorry. And I'm so very new here. I had to look up the orange inhaler, I only know it as Flovent. I might write a post of my own. Anyway. It does kind of sound like stress. Maybe once you get back to work and into the swing of things of things it will calm down? Of course this was 3 days ago...
