Hello I was diagnosed with severe allergic asthma in 2014 after many years of asthma.

Both my grandfather's died of lung "disease" (I watched one taking his last breaths, horrible). My GP warned

My daughter has allergic asthma My mother got asthma when she was older, we also are very allergic to things like dust cats feathers if I am near a cat or feathers I can hardly breathe. Needless to say I try and avoid them.

It is the peak of spring allergy season here, as well as other great stuff like air pollution. So I just wanted to share the results of today's testing of my wearable air purifier for asthma. I am lucky to have wooded hills out of my door, so I do not have to scare people while walking there. The device

Research suggests that some people with asthma may be specifically allergic to this allergen. I am wondering if this is me? Research also suggests that people who are particularly susceptible to the CAN f 5 allergen, may be able to live with female dogs or male, neutered dogs.

Has now prescribed Polaraminefor allergies that might be acerbating the asthma. I don't know what I might be allergic to except the heat/ cool/ humidity in the Costa Blanca. Should I ask for or get an allergy test

I had my asthma review yesterday by phone. I have been on the mart regime (fostair 100/6 and spriva 2.5) for a little under a year. Yesterday I was told that having a rescue packet of prednisolone at home after having an asthma attack to use isn't the standard treatment any more. This was changed

My asthma is much more sensitive to central heating than last year. I have upped the hoovering and dusting, got an additional air purifier, but the asthma attacks really only cease now once the central heating is off. Any ideas? And, no, I cannot turn off the central heating.

I am 18 and have been having constant flare ups for over a year now with over 15 a&e trips and 6 admissions to the ward. I was referred to Guy's severe asthma clinic. I have high eosinophil, neutrophils, white cells, platelets and IgE when I have flare ups. I am allergic to NSAIDs, grass, dust, tress

I jade a cold a week or two back, ever since, I've had an increase in asthma symptoms.I take my symbicort smart every 4 hours, which works well, but I know when 4 hours is up even through the night where I get a tight chest, short of breath and feel as though the air doesn't have enough air if that

I recently had a cull of some of my long term medications, ones I found either ineffective or I wasnt using anymore.

So at the moment that would leave me 4 puffs if I had an asthma attack. So if I needed more than 4 in an attack

I finally had my appointment with the Respiratory Consultant yesterday and it was certainly an eye opener. Apparently I have adult onset asthma and not COPD. She said that she can't rule out 'a touch' of COPD as I used to smoke years ago but all my test results show that I now have asthma. She has
