New to asthma - Rocket launcher approach?
Hi all, I’m newly diagnosed (peak flow meter that I used and submitted data). Had my first asthma appointment over the phone yesterday. I’m 29 and have never been diagnosed before now/ felt that I struggle to breathe. The only thing is when I run in the cold my throat completely closes up and I’m

Asyra Pro allergy test
Hi bit of a random question but has anyone got any knowledge or experience of Asyra Pro allergy testing for food intolerances? I’ve booked an appointment to have one next week so any points of view, good or bad would be welcomed. Ali 🙂

covid vs asthma
hi there, this question is for anyone who has asthma and has had covid or knows someone who has. how do you tell the difference? I've been experiencing a pretty bad flare-up for the last few days but I genuinely don't know if it's just my asthma or something else. I'm a waitress so I constantly have

My Mom said I only faked and Asthma is not a real illness.
Can you fake asthma. When I was a kid my mother who was a heavy smoker accused me of faking severe asthma, and I suffered so terribly. I know there were occasions when she very reluctantly brought me to the hospital and I remember being in a oxygen tent .That was the only times I was treated and

Allergies? Not allergic, but get them? Is it Lupus causing it?
I have Lupus / APS / Sjrojens since 2006. Throughout this time I keep having random allergy attacks. I had allergy testing in 2012 and it all came back as normal. Even though I'm not allergic to anything I take anti-histamine every day but I still get the allergy. Rheumatologist says its nothing to

IBS - really diverticulitis?
I used to have IBS - for around 13 years - then had perforated bowel and stoma fitted 6 months ish ago - this was sudden and life threatening -for those with these kinds of issues for years advice from me would be to get a ct scan to find out if you have diverticulitis - that's what must have caused

Living with severe asthma
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with severe asthma a few years ago (had asthma since I was a toddler, now in my mid 30s), had to give up work and been living with my parents on the ESA support element of Universal Credit. I was thinking about going back to work before my latest downturn in my asthma, maybe

Unexplained SOB
I bought a peak flow as a friend said it could be
allergic
asthma
but I blow between 650-720 - never higher, never lower. Since the SOB and lockdown I haven’t trained apart from a few runs which were definitely affected by this SOB.

Hayfever advice
I’ve never had hayfever before, only mild symptoms last year. Both my mum and brother suffer from it and my symptoms seem to be worse this year including blocked nose and head, sore throat, losing smell, shortness of breath. Due to coronavirus going around i have done my temperature and all normal.

Boring Asthma Post
So, its been a little while since have posted, but for those of you that follow me, you will know I've really been struggling with my asthma of late. The last month of C25K was a constant battle of getting up earlier and earlier in the morning to try and beat the pollen, and having to take more and more

Asthma does not seem to increase the severity of COVID-19
Asthma does not appear to increase the risk for a person contracting COVID-19 or influence its severity, according to a team of Rutgers researchers. "Older age and conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes and obesity are reported risk factors

Itchy chin when coughing?
I’m currently being investigated for Asthma and have been put on Salbutamol which seems to help relieve symptoms. I’m not sure if this is related (but I’d heard through the grape vine) that an itchy chin when coughing can be linked to asthma? It’s the weirdest sensation... All very new to this!

Hay fever & Bronchiectasis
Hi everyone My hay fever has been bad the past two weeks but since Wednesday, I have started coughing. A couple of times I have brought up green stuff. A quick Google informed me that any hay fever related mucus as a Bronch sufferer should be clear? Apart from feeling tired, and coughing a bit more

I think my new antidepressant is making my asthma worse
I started taking escitalopram 5mg last Saturday to help treat anxiety. It has worked remarkably well so far. But I’ve noticed my chest becoming progressively worse this week, with my peak flow being at 375/350 and I can’t get it to budge. Normally it’s 400/410. I read that serotonin can cause bronchoconstriction

Asthma after Covid
Interested to know if anyone is in my position.... I think I may have had Covid in March despite only having had the one typical symptom (a high temperature but not 37.8c high) I did have a mucus cough and tight chest but not the dry cough. Saw the GP and it was treated as an asthma attack and was given
