Asthma and covid
So my sister (who I live with) has tested positive for Covid. I’m guessing it’s quite likely that I have it or am going to get it, but should I start increasing my inhalers as a preventative measure? How have people with asthma coped with covid? I’m not overly worried, my asthma is relatively well controlled

Unusual allergy-induced asthma symptom or unrelated (mild shakiness)?
Hi there, I had a recent flare up of my allergy-induced asthma, which cleared up after 8 weeks (and after speaking to the asthma nurse, we came to the conclusion that an allergen had triggered the flare up, I believe it might have been fungal/mold spores in the garden). A few days later I had a smaller

Asthma or bronchiectasis???
Hello all, I've had mild asthma all my life but the last few years it has become difficult to control with the regular inhalers. Bronchitis- prednison events 3 times a year. Last winter I was put on nebuliser (corticosteroids plus extra saline) treatment, and that really helps. After much delay earlier

Asthma Flare-Up
Hey everyone, Hope that you’re all keeping well. Last month I had an Asthma Flare-Up and was advised to take extra Fostair through the day to help settle it. 4 Weeks on I’ve had a bit of a Cold and think that it’s gone into my Chest. Chest has been tight and Ventolin relieves it but then wears off.

Asthma General Enquiry
Hi, I am being treated for asthma as I have the classic symptoms - shortness of breath, tight chest, difficulty getting a satisfying yawn. I have had the blue inhaler for a few years - and my peak flow sits at ~330 before and after using this. I have used the brown inhaler for a few years but it doesn't

6 Months+ of Asthma Issues
Hi all, This is something of a ramble, but I feel like I'm at the end of my tether. At the end of May I had several severe asthma attacks and I still don't feel right over half a year later. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, I was given prednisone to help get the inflammation down and since

Asthma/covid
At this time of year I always have an exacerbation of my cough variant asthma. I also have a rescue supply of prednisolone. However I am supposed to phone the surgery and let them know what I have used in terms of ventalin and that I’m starting prednisolone. I know what will happen this year in that

Disappointing Consultation
Just had consult after 6 cycles carbo/caelyx (this is second line) not much shrinkage. CA number was 40 before 5th chemo and has gone up to 57! I made the mistake of asking to see my CT scan, never seen one before and I was horrified at the size of the tumours, knew the measurements but not actually

Is it asthma?
Hi all! I was wondering if I might be able to pick your collective brains please? I was diagnosed with asthma in June this year with a PF difference of 42%. I was short of breath frequently. I couldn't climb the stairs and speak at the same time. I had to sit and wait to catch my breath after having

Asthma slow onset and atypical - getting help
Hi, I have the sort of asthma that doesn't fit the norm in that I don't weeze. I get breathless from doing things like walking but when I sit down it tends to go away after awhile. Last month I had a hell of an experience trying to get help for my worsening asthma symptoms. Part of the problem is covid
