Asthma diagnosed at 44
Hi, last year a lot happened in my life I lost my dad, i was diagnosed as peri menopausal and then asthma after getting a cold and sinusitis, think I have struggled to accept I have asthma because I can’t understand how I have got to age 44 without any symptoms previously. I now notice a huge change

African American Children Respond Differently to Asthma Medications.
African Americans suffer asthma more often and more severely than Caucasian patients. However, clinical trials that have shaped treatment guidelines have included few African Americans. A new report demonstrates a shortcoming of that history. Researchers at National Jewish Health and their colleagues

Asthma and tiredness
Hello everyone, I have had asthma for over 50 years since I was a nipper. I believe there is a link between asthma and tiredness and often feel the need to lie down and rest. During this year I have been feeling more and more tired. At times my asthma has also been bad this year, but currently I am

Bowel resection on Monday
Hi everyone, I have stage 4 recto vaginal endo and have been struggling for years. I had my first lap last December to remove a 4cm cyst from the left ovary. The surgeon found endo on my appendix and my ulterior wall. I have now been booked in for a bowel resection + removal of the endo within my gynae

Hello About 4 months ago my husband was diagnosed with late onset asthma and has been using a brown preventative inhaler twice daily with a spacer - his asthma symptoms have improved markedly. However since regular use of this inhaler he has developed muscle aches and pains which are gradually getting

It’s been a loooong night 😴😴
My rapid response para apparently is the para trainer for my area and was spot on with his severe/

Info re high heart rate during an attack
Hi everyone I know I rant about this topic often but it really does make me mad when I am told by medics that a fast heart rate isn't a feature of an asthma attack. I'm sure all of us in the community know that it is and sadly have experienced it (all my attacks have started with a high heart rate).

Asthma and Migraine Treatment
Prior to my recent asthma deterioration my GP prescribed Naproxen for my migraines. I explained that I’ve never had any problems with Ibuprofen so I was happy with that. Now after this recent nasty flare I am reluctant to take it as I don’t know if it will trigger an attack. For those of you out there

Flouride/asthma/reflux?
Anybody know if there is any connection between flouridation of the water supply and increase in acid reflux and asthma symptoms? My symptoms increased after moving to another area from one where my water supply was flouride free.

Asthma UK nurses- brilliant job.
After feeling down and frustrated with my asthma, I called the Asthma UK helpline as I know they’ve been brilliant in the past and they were again. The nurse took time to go through everything with me and explore different options and medications that might help. Honestly this service is great each

Has anyone else got asthma, bronchiectasis and bilateral pulmonary embolisms? What's being done about it? How do you manage?

Intrinsic asthma and non allergic rhinistis.
I have horrible rhinistis to the point I'm mouth breathing most of the time and I've been prescribed avamys which didn't work and now dymista which makes me feel ill and unblocks my nose very little, my asthma feels worse with this, I take symbicort twice a day. yet peak flow is always 550, does anyone

GP visit update
Apparently, the doctor who looked after me in AEC on Saturday has diagnosed me with severe
brittle
asthma
? At least that is what he has put on the discharge report to the GP. So, I guess it's good that I know what type of asthma I have and why it is being so unstable at the minute.
