Air purifier advice
I have
brittle
asthma
and dust, hay fever and damp all cause my asthma to flair up. My Dentist recommended an air purifier to me as he has them in the surgery and it has helped his hay fever. I shall do some more research aided by your tips and let you know how I get on

Asthma worse since we moved.
Since leaving London and moving back to the west country last year, I feel like my asthma has been getting worse. I used to be on Flutiform 2 puffs twice a day plus nightly montelukast. My asthma nurse recently changed me over to Fostair 100 2puffs three times a day, montelukast, and now also a steroid

No need to worry if i can do it anyone can hand on heart
Nothing to worry about. I was 63 when i had a non reversible ileostomy and done great and now 70. Take things easy for around six weeks and do as told. don't over do things that's when problems occur. Same with regard to exercise etc. Eat little to start and build up food intake over a period of time

Stopping dairy has helped
I know it also has something to do with Vocal Cord Dysfunction, but mainly my
brittle
asthma
. I would definitely recommend trialing off dairy for a while if you are struggling to find triggers. Anyone else found dairy a trigger? Xx

Hot weather - is this an asthma trigger?
Hii there, I’ve only very recently been diagnosed with Asthma and this sudden heatwave makes me feel like I have someone sat on my chest... It feels so heavy and irritated - agh! Is there anything I can do? 😤😖

Recent experience with Asthma UK
Good afternoon all, This is just a short post to say how helpful a recent Asthma UK nurse appointment was that I attended. This was my first time calling them, and they offered so much support and advice. I went back to my GP and we discussed what was said, and between us have put a new plan in place

I have had a total hysterectomy including ovary removal can it come back?
So February this year I had a major operation to remove everything ovaries, womb the lot. Plus bowel surgery. I had a stoma until August and I have recently had an operation to reverse it back. Just the other day I noticed I had similar symptoms to when I had endometriosis. I’m very scared that it’s

Thunderstorm warning ⛈️
Does your asthma get worse during a thunderstorm? If you notice your symptoms often flare-up, it’s probably because of one of two reasons. The air before a storm can feel very humid. Some of you tell us that this causes a tight chest and a cough, and that it can be harder to breathe. Thunderstorms smash

Struggling with a new asthma diagnosis
Hi recently been diagnosed with asthma I got a peak flow meter today but I don’t know what I good peak flow actually is. I’ve got a blue inhaler and a pink steroid one. I’ve got a spacer. Just stressing as I don’t know much about asthma. I’m trying to not google as I think that’s the worst thing I can

Can anyone recommend asthma safe cleaning products for the bathroom?
Bleach etc gives me a full blown asthma attack, and isn't exactly good for the environment either. Have you found any products that are chemical free and clean well? Thanks.

Sleep and asthma; Why do we usually go dodgy at night?
Hi everyone I thought I’d do an ‘infomercial’ today about why asthmatics can be worse at night! (I was asked privately if I could think of triggers that would cause night flares so have also added these in!) SIGNS OF ISSUES Now we all know that waking up at night is a bad sign for asthma, but did you

Blue badge for severe asthma?
Hi all, I am just curious to know if any of you here are in receipt of a blue badge based on your asthma diagnosis. I am really tempted to apply but worried I might be turned down. I work part time at a hospital and my asthma does not affect my ability to do so. However, hospital parking can be hell

I have

Temperatures are expected to reach the low 30Cs in some parts of the UK, so it’s important to be following our weather advice. Here are some of our top tips: ✅Keep taking

Complementary therapies
Happy Friday all! I hope everyone is coping OK with the heat. Just a gentle reminder that whilst complementary therapies for asthma (alongside your usual asthma treatment) can be greatly helpful for some, what has worked for you may not work for someone else and could actually trigger their asthma, so

So frustrated...
So after not getting anywhere with my consultant I have transferred trusts and feel like I am out of the frying pan into the fire... The asthma nurse has sent me an asthma action plan with the average peakflow for my age and height instead of personal best, and says I am having an asthma attack if my
