Asthma advice

Hi

I had coronavirus mid October and subsequently had issues with my asthma - tight chest, breathlessness, a weird ruttle / flutter when I breathe. I've had my medication changed to 1 x fostair 100 in the morning and montelukast in the evening to clear the cough/mucus. My peak flow is still around 350 - 370. 370 is the odd day at best. I still feel as if my chest isn't clear when I breathe and one side of my throat is dry...I just wondered if you could offer any advice or when I could expect to see my peak flow coming up and the ruttle in my chest clear. Thanks

For congestion, ask your doctor about guaifenesin. Active ingredient of Mucinex - I take it 24/7 to keep the congestion fluid so I can cough it out. Good Luck!

Thank you for sharing this information. I think there is so much we don’t know about how this virus affects people to give advice. I would continue to monitor my symptoms and stay in contact with my physician. Certainly continue usual asthma management to control asthma.

Yes very true. I've got bloods and an ecg booked as my heart rate is still all over the place! My peak flow has dropped. I'll mention it again when I go for my appointment
