AirFluSal inhaler

This is my first post and I am a little worried. I saw a consultant recently who told me I have bronchiectasis.I have had asthma all my life and also aspergilosis.

Has anyone else been asked to fill in a questionnaire on line for their asthma review? I'm not sure if it's one that is unique to Scotland but it only seems to be able to cope with someone having only one preventer preventer inhaler - and I'm on two Luforbec and Spiriva (plus Fexofenadine, Montelucast

Another lovely run at the Reading Half Marathon. My training got derailed by my asthma so I put aside my goal of beating last year's time in favour of simply completing the run and enjoying myself. My asthma did decide to rear it's ugly head resulting in taking my inhaler a few times and there are a

I sometimes think I have two different types of asthma. I have two inhalers alvesco and fostair mart plus spiriva. This year half way through the winter they put my alvesco up to Alvesco 640, and it has worked really well, getting me off my winter prednisone on and off cycle. Then immediately the

Hi all My consultant had recently changed my inhaler from a forstair to a symbicort, However since I have started using the using the symbicort I've had really bad pains in my back/side, Has anyone else had similar issues with symbicort ? TIA

My practice nurse has started me on inhalers to try to bring down the lung inflammation which seems to rise every time I have my FeNo checked, as in 43, initially ,then 88 and most recent 117. Since I've been using the Qvar inhaler, or even the salbutamol inhaler, it seems to make me start coughing and

I have recently been changed from a fostair inhaler to trimbow. Initially I felt positive, I was less breathless on exertion. After a few days I started to get muscle spasms in my back and rib cage, I also developed swollen feet and lower legs. Has anyone experienced similar effects.

Hi Everyone. I'm so sorry for asking yet another question........I have moderate COPD, mild Pulmonary Hypertension and scarring on my lungs from sarcoidosis [which is not active now]. So I think that the fact that I have Pulmonary Hypertension and COPD puts me into 2 different categories of PH, and I

Thank you for your comments 🥰 I stopped taking the inhaler, to see if the horsey voice was due to the inhaler. as it gets me down, when it comes, but It still comes now and then, sorry to ask but is it because I have copd that it's there? Do others get it angie x

Sublingual apomorphine, that I LOVED, is no, longer available...so we are going to try 'inbrija." i hope it works as well. i am not ready to take on a 'pump" yet. (the VYALEV carbo/levo combo or the APOMORPHINE PUMP OPAGO?) Try the inhaler first.

Hi there, My son has asthma and recently he's been asking for his inhaler lots in school when we think maybe it's not needed. He has been having several puffs with school reception and sometimes being sent home but his asthma seems fine. He is quite emotional about school generally. He reports needing

I have had two times where I have woken up in the last few weeks. The first time I woke up 4 times 1 hour apart. I used my inhaler each time and went back to sleep. I was fine in the morning. Last night I woke up twice due to phelgm down my throat (in the early hours of the morning) I used my inhaler

I’m still new to my asthma diagnosis but I don’t know if I should go to hospital or just manage at home a lot. As soon as I get a cold my breathlessness gets quite bad but I just stay in bed if I can but I can’t lay flat so sleeping doesn’t happen Sometimes it doesn’t last past a couple of days. I

Yesterday when on Facebook I watched a advert for a product for those with lung conditions in a short film presented by Deborah Meaden.Deborah claims that current COPD inhalers at best only manage the disease at worst they may make the disease worse.However she is convinced she knows about a product

Hi all ,just an update . I had my CT result on Tuesday via phone call from my consultant. It showed an infection in my right lung and a small patch of bronchiectasis. As my FeNo is 88, I have to have a sinus CT and a repeat chest CT in a couple of months to see if the infection has resolved. I informed
