asthma as chest tightness
Spirometry normal and mannitol
test
negative?
Peak
flow
doesn't drop much when symptomatic unless severe like with chest infection? I'm just fed up with the severe asthma clinic I'm under : they are trying to confirm my diagnosis but so far everything has shown as normal.

High Heart Hormones
As an asthmatic, I got my
peak
flow
checked and my GP ran BNP
test
. I have high heart hormones but tbh .. I have no idea what that actually means. Can anyone alleviate my anxiety over this?

Progress at last
Haven’t posted for a long time. Some of you may know that after reaching my goal of a 10k continuous run I contracted COVID in September 2022. Diagnosed with Long Covid in December 2022, really struggled to even walk 400 yards but saw an improvement last Summer and got to Week 7 all be it very slowly

How long can Asthma flares last?
Hi I’m in to my 5th week now with a tight chest and struggling to breathe. A&E couldn’t find anything untoward and GP could only offer stronger antihistamines and Montelukast which I have reluctantly started a few days ago. The worrying thing is that my peak flow isn’t too bad but I still have the tightness

4 emergency hospital trips since February
I've had asthma since I was 6. Was seen at Great Ormond Street and also the Royal Brompton when I nearly died when I was 18. Recently, it really flared up after a nasty respiratory virus that started about the 15th December. Had a steriods and antibiotics. Things didn't improve. January I had a call

Anyone Know About Silent Reflux
Following on from my experience of asthma flare up I'm wondering if like Cade in his post about breathing problems whilst exercising, if I could have silent reflux. It was shortness of breath that led me to seek medical treatment, and even though I had no wheezing or cough the hospital concluded it was

leg weakness after attack
Hi, I am a newbie, but had asthma for years and it is getting gradually worse. I have had maybe 3 severe attacks and the most recent has had me off work for nearly 2 weeks now. In the past I have carried on going in (to my detriment) you know that work ethic malarkey. This time I took the time

Do I even have asthma?
I've struggled with breathing issues for years on and off, but part of me is now wondering if it's all just anxiety/ reflux related. I had lung function tests which all came back normal (FEV1/ FVC ratio 85%, Feno 10 at most, best peak flow is 500 and its never really different when I'm having a shortness

Asthma or anxiety?
Feel like my chest is tight like I can't take a deep breath and a bit breathless. My peak flow is pretty much normal. I get anxiety around bedtime so I don't know if its that or my asthma!!

Advice
With asthma is it the peak flow dropping the first sign of an attack? I had a bad attack last November and have developed ptsd as a result. I now get awful panic attacks at night that leave me feeling like I can't breathe. I struggle to tell the difference between it neong apanic attack or asthma related

Silent reflux symptoms?
I've posted a few times in various places here about some symptoms which I can't work out. My GP can't either, and their final diagnosis is it must just be stress and I should take antidepressants or put up with it because they aren't going to investigate any further. I don't like the look of those antidepressant

Coming off Montelukast
Hallo,Has anyone out there successfully just stopped Montelukast. I've been taking it for 2 years and am dubious as to whether it's doing anything for my asthma. My anxiety, however, has worsened considerably. !! Not sure if it's the montelukast or not. I was thinking of trialing doing without it for
