Asthma & staying indoors
Not sure if anyone else is having similar problems but I’m finding being stuck indoors is actually making my asthma worse at the moment. Guessing it’s the mix of dust / indoor pollutants etc. Trying to keep everything super clean, but still struggling. Every time I feel chesty I think, “Oh no is this

Anxiety -
So like most of you at the moment., Anxiety is high. I assume my asthma is manageable, I've possibly not been the best at being on top of it at times. A few weeks ago I had a cold or something flares my asthma and have just got a little more on top of it. Peak flow (on night one this week) is 625 ish

Define severe asthma
Hi All, I'm a bit confused about the asthma part of covid-19. My work do have the ability for me to WFH, although they are trying to get as much people in to the office as possible and at present it has been agreed but this could change and anytime and I want to make sure before I insist on doing it

What should I do?
I have a stoma from what was thought to be a permanent tracheostomy which I decanulated after 7 years. Does this increase my chance for infection what can I do to prevent that

Asthma + Hashimotos ... Am I at risk from catching Corona virus?
Been trying to find a straight answer to this so please forgive me if I’m repeating a question. I have Moderate Asthma along side Hashimotos and a couple of other things like IBS etc. My question is should I self isolate given I have asthma and Hashimotos??

How much of a high risk am I?
Hello all, I'm just wondering about this dreaded coronavirus and how much of a high risk I am and would I possibly get the serious complications. So.... I'm 35 years old and had asthma since very young, my asthma seems quite well controlled for the most part. I never usually get colds perhaps once

High levels of iron in the lung linked to increased asthma severity.
Iron build-up in the lung cells and tissues is associated with worse asthma symptoms and lower lung function, according to new research published in the European Respiratory Journal [1]. The researchers say that the study, which includes data from asthma patient samples and mouse models, is the first

Asthma-Coronavirus query
Hi, I’m currently working full time and my wife suffers with long term asthma. In light of this Coronavirus virus outbreak, would it be advisable for me to stay off work incase I bring back any flu/corona virus symptom back home? Would she be classed as high risk because her asthma is not under control

Gluten allergy test negative - should I still go GF?
Hi all! I’ve heard Hashimoto’s thyroid antibodies can be increased by gluten antibodies in the body. With this info I went to a GI doctor and got tested for a gluten allergy but it came back negative. I also LOVE bread and pasta and don’t seem to get any digestive trouble from them so this was great

Ventolin on repeat
I was at Asthma Clinic last week and was told they are no longer putting Ventolin on repeat as there have been many deaths from mild Asthma where people have been rely on their Ventolin and not their Preventer. They say if you need more than 5 ventolin inhaler in a year you now have to be referred to

Does anyone else use potassium to help with breathlessness, cough, "asthma" etc?
Ive found that when I get very thick mucus in my throat - supposed asthma, breathlesness etc, potassium helps the best.

Do we have to isolate or not?
Some actual concrete advice from Asthma UK would be great! I’ve looked on the NHS website and it says if you have severe asthma. Well that’s open to interpretation as I got told they don’t use the term brittle asthma anymore, they call it severe, so is mine severe or not? Luckily my peak flow only ever

Social distancing etc
There is detailed information on the gov.uk website. Asthma is listed. Those with severe asthma will be contacted next week as they will need to take more stringent precautions

Children with asthma
Hi Just seen the speech from Boris Johnson. Still not closing schools. My 11 year old son has quite severe asthma, should I keep him home anyway, is he considered one of the vulnerable groups, nothing really being said about children. Thank you so much for your help.

Has anyone’s asthma gotten worse recently?
Hey guys. Has anyone’s asthma gotten worse recently? Generally my asthma is very mild, I only have to use my reliever when I play football or come into contact with cats/dogs. However, over the last week my asthma has gotten worse, not to the point of an asthma attack or even close for that matter, but

Trying to figure this out?
Ive had
allergic
asthma
for years but careful had no attacks for years. Last year moved into house with mold & got diagnosed with severe asthma. Taking preventers works beautifully! Until last week when I got a face full of mens deoderant.

Asthma and Corona virus by
I have asthma and diabetes and I am in my 60s. I am really scared of the virus, but trying to stay positive. I don't work, but my main concern is that my husband is out to work full time, so I am still at risk of him bringing it home how ever careful I am.
