Not sure if new inhaler is wo
hi everyone, when I went for my asthma check a couple of weeks ago the asthma nurse gave me a new inhaler as I only had my reliever, but I found out that even though I've only had my new inhaler for nearly two weeks I've found that about an hour or so after I've taken my new inhaler I'm having to use

Fostair MART action plan
After 20yrs on Qvar for maintenance (50mcg twice daily) and salbutamol as a reliever, I had my first major asthma attack in September after which my maintenance inhaler was changed to Fostair 100/6. I also learned of the existence of asthma action plans at that time and have found the one I went home

My quality of life has been on a rapid decline.. hoping someone can help.
I am 27 years old, a year ago happy and healthy until after a bike ride, the day after I had trouble breathing. After months of this getting worse and worse I finally was diagnosed with LPR (Silent Reflux) and started taking Ezomeprazole which for a period got it under control. I then started having

Coping with Asthma
As some of you may know, I write a blog about Asthma and my latest piece is about what I do to cope with my asthma and dealing with asthma attacks. There are a few things that I do which seem to help, they are only small things but they work for me. What I would like to do is add things to the blog that

Asthma
Hi I’m new on here. I started with asthma in February this year, had a really bad attack, was in bed for 4 days, put on steroids and inhalers. Started with a cold last week and it’s flared my asthma back up so back on steroids again and in bed. It seems to be getting better slowly but I’m worse first

Using a lot of salbutamol during asthma attacks
Hi I was just wondering how much salbutamol you use to recover from an asthma attack. My daughter is just 7 years, she never coped well with using 2 puffs every 2 minutes, or 1 puff every minute. She now has 1 puff every 10 seconds for upto around 20-25 puffs. This is the only way to get her well quickly

Asthma or Wooping Cough
Hello, My daughter has had Asthma since she was born and has not had an issue for almost 2 years. However it is back full force and we are dealing with other health issues as well. There was a test done today to test for for wooping cough, but I never knew the difference between them. It is very scary

Asthma and scuba diving
For 8 months now I have been prescribed duoresp spiromax and my asthma seems better controlled than it has been for 30 years. However I have recently trained as a scuba diver and plan to progress further in my new hobby. Although my gp has declared me 'fit to dive' I am concerned about the conflicting

Changes in my asthma
Hi, I have had asthma since a young child. I have been v lucky and it hasn't affected me badly. It has always been triggered by common things like allergies and cold weather. I am in great admiration of those on this forum who have a really bad time with it. I had a virus last Christmas which meant I

Inflammation
I was diagnosed asthmatic last year after very severe double pneumonia and sepsis. I don’t know much about asthma. Is it normal to feel your airways are inflamed? For me this is the first sign that my asthma is flaring up. But after a recent flare I mentioned it to a locum g.p. and he asked how I knew

Low energy from asthma
IV had asthma for almost 50years.some causes are physical allergies but other causes are pyscosymatic. stress has been a huge cause. IV never been a high energy person as a result of asthma. The only time I got good energy levels was when I started to swim n do water sports. But even during that time

Can anyone give me any advice re jogging and asthma?
Hi all, I've completed the C25K programme, finished it about 6 weeks ago. I managed all the jogs, have been feeling quite proud of myself and have now got up to being able to jog for 5k non-stop, albeit quite slow. Unfortunately as the weather is turning colder, I am now developing asthma symptoms.
