Side effects of Relvar Ellipta?
Hi, I have been on Relvar Ellipta for, I think, four years now. It works well to control my asthma, but I wonder if anybody has got any side effects from this medicine? Apart from asthma, I have problems with a heart valve (Mitral), and I am hormone treatment for prostate cancer, and also I take Budesonide

Asthma review
A nurse came to my house to do an asthma from my temporary gp surgery. She was lovely, checked my inhalers and one I find difficult to use with my arthritic hands, she is going to try to change. Most impressive was that she had brought me information about bronchiecstasis! I was diagnosed by a consultant

What is acceptable with regards to symptoms?
I’ve had asthma for many years, and I’ve been through periods of remission, controlled asthma, severely uncontrolled asthma, and pretty much everything in between. After giving birth, and getting over two periods of uncontrolled and severely uncontrolled asthma, I’ve had around a year of extremely

Seretide and Addisons disease
I was diagnosed with Addisons in May 2023 and have been using inhaled steroids / seretide for chronic Asthma for 20+ years. My endocrine consultant told me to stop taking my seretide which I declined to do, as Asthma extremely well controlled, unless he refers me to Asthma team at hospital to manage

Is Baclofen part of asthma treatment?
I was taken off Montelukast by my Asthma specialist after more than twenty years. Baclofen was given but I had to stop taking it after two weeks because my cough didn't get better. My GP asked me to stop. I couldn't get in touch with my specialist. Should I restart the Baclofen?

Asthma not well controlled
I'm worried that my asthma is not well controlled, I'm on highest dose of Fostair which was switched from Flutiform earlier this year as my Asthma nurse believed I needed a higher dose of steroid to control my asthma as I frequently need Steroids. I also have Spiriva, Carbocisteine and Montelukast but

it’s not all asthma
I have only been officially asthmatic since 2017. I was diagnosed with cough variant asthma During that time I have had many courses of prednisolone and had a PPI added for acid reflux. This medication has been increased and my asthma medication added to and changed. In October I saw a locum GP as

neutrophilic asthma
anyone suffering from neutrophilic asthma? How was it diagnosed? I keep getting chest infections and needing loads of abx, wondering if this could be neutrophilic asthma. Ct found no bronchiectasis a year ago.

husband told to not take brown inhalor until “asthma test” despite it stopping wheeze?
hello! Asking on behalf of my husband as I’m really worried it’s not being taken seriously. I have asthma myself, I have always taken brown inhalor daily and never have to use blue unless ill. My husband had childhood asthma but after covid he woke up breathless and had a very bad night cough. After

Gaining strength with Asthma
Hi Just wondering if anyone else here does strength training like lifting or calisthenics and has trouble with strength gains. I am convinced the reason why I struggle is because of decades of taking meds for asthma has an affect on strength gains???
