Severe asthma made worse by acid reflux
I’ve spent 4 days in hospital this week with para influenza making my severe asthma bad. Doctors also think silent acid reflux is also irritating my lungs and making things worse. My breathing is back under control but I’ve an awful chesty sounding cough particularly at night which eases when I sit

O2 saturation and heart rate
May I ask if anyone takes measurements of O2 saturation during asthma attacks? Do you see numbers drop significantly during attacks? I know my asthma is bad when I cannot talk in sentences and must lie down to let it pass. While lying down, the heart rate is at 130 and stays until rescue inhaler kicks

CEV Criteria
Hello I know shielding is not really a thing at the moment but I was wondering if anyone knows what the criteria is to be considered CEV (Clinically Extremely Vulnerable) because of asthma? My asthma has deteriorated quite significantly over the last few months. I've not had to be hospitalised because

Non-allergic asthma? Is montelukast and antihistamine needed?
Hi. I have asthma and have just received allergy testing results requested by my consultant which have been negative- so not shown any allergies at all to dust/ pollen etc. which I am shocked about as dust and pollen are my main triggers and I have been on nasal sprays for rhinitis which I assumed was

Puzzled by asthma symptoms and then no symptoms
Last year I suffered from symptoms that lead me to suspect late onset asthma. On several occasions I woke in the night with difficulty breathing. I was suffering from frequent coughing fits and on two terrifying occasions found my self gasping for breath after a short walk. Phone conversations with

Drastically worse IBS-C/constipation for no apparent reason, after 19 years
Hi - I am posting to see if anyone has ever had a very sudden and drastic worsening in their symptoms of IBS-C/problems emptying the bowel? I have had IBS-C/constipation for nearly 20 years, and 10 years ago it got far worse after a surgery. Since that time it improved and has been consistent for

Long-term asthma recovery queries
Hi all, I suppose this is a general question about long-term asthma recovery, as this is uncharted territory for me. Or if it's even asthma-related. In May 2020, I had several asthma attacks, which heavily restricted my mobility for the remainder of the year. I used to go to the gym twice a week, play

18 month old with an asthma cough
My child is 18 months and has already been diagnosed with asthma. His cough has started again and is worse at night. We are giving him his inhaler every 2-3 hours and also his brown one too. Does anyone have any tips on asthma coughs?

There's a link between paediatric asthma and neighbourhoods that flood—especially low-income ones, researchers say
Researchers at Old Dominion University have sought for years to understand the many ways repeated flooding affects residents of Hampton Roads, Virginia. They’ve homed in on how increased flooding impacts quality of life, traffic, the sinking of land and more. Now a pair of ODU researchers has set out

Asthma and Storms
Does anyone else's asthma get worse when there's a storm? I know obviously being out in bad weather/the cold can affect it but every time a storm comes over even when I'm inside I get tight chested and my cough gets worse. I take my reliever but it doesn't help. Any advice or even just reassurance I'm

Not every breathing symptom is asthma!
Tentatively posting this because it’s perhaps controversial on an asthma forum - but it is also really important. It’s often assumed that any breathing symptom is asthma - those who have asthma assume it’s that because they have asthma therefore it must be that; those who don’t have asthma assume they

Does anyone have experience of an ACEs Stoma for chronic constipation?
Hi everyone, my daughter who’s nearly 7 is having an ACEs Stoma in 10 days to help manage her chronic constipation after a long slog of unsuccessful medications and hospitalisation… has anyone’s child had this operation? I know it’s the best way forward and will help her no end as the last few years

I now have severe and unpredictable

So frustrated
I have just spoken to asthma nurse uk as I am quite new to asthma and needed advice on experiencing difficulty breathing, yawning sighing and burping after preventer inhaler. I tried budesonide, beclometasone and even oral steroid and they all make my breathing so difficult that I need to stop. When
