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

Heartbroken
My husband is scheduled for a Colostomy on 5-08-2020. He said he is scared, I am crying because my husband is not scared of anything. He went through Chemo and Radiation treatments at the same time in 2014. He been in remission for five years but his cancer left a terrible wound that won't heal. They

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??

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

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

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.

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

Lost control of my asthma
I was told that my wheeze wasn't enough, my sats were above 95% so why the fuss, and I should have just driven myself to hospital ( hmm
brittle
asthma
, struggling to breathe and dizzy?!?). Consultant is considering biologics next if I meet the criteria.

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.

Coronavirus
Anyone out there with Asthma who has survived COVID19? Would be interesting to hear how the asthma symptoms were affected and was any additional treatment required on top of routine asthma drugs?
