A Suffocating struggle...

[Nicster00]

Hi... I'm new!

I'm 43 and have asthma the majority of my life. Sporadically good, and bad it seemed to have changed in October and I just can't breathe properly! Drs can hear a wheeze and although I've had infections and been on the steroid/ antibiotic merry go round it's just not getting better!

I'm on... fostair, qvar, singulair or monteclaust if that's how you spell it. I've a new when bad and of course ventalin. Sometimes my trachea rattles, which is new, but because the Gp don't hear a rattle I feel like they poohoo me. I'm vegan and don't smoke or drink and I try and exersise 5 times a week...

Any advice welcome.

Hi Nicster00 ,

Sorry for the delayed reply. Because you're still experiencing symptoms, it sounds like your asthma isn't back under control, so you may find it helpful to chat with one of our asthma specialist nurses or your GP. Please feel free to give our nurses team a ring to talk through your medications on 0300 222 5800 (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm).

Take care,
