Scared!
Then today I got a call from the hospital saying she has been booked in for
bronchoscopy
and ct scan, both under general anaesthetic, next Tuesday! I'm scared! Not only is she my baby, aged just 2, she's got poorly lungs, her SATs never get above 92, even when well.

Persistent cough + shortness of breath
I have positive results for histamine challenge and
bronchoscopy
shows inflammation in my airways. My consultant prescribed Symbicort (2 puffs twice a day) which I have been using for 10 weeks.

Bronchoscopy - is this normal?
I had the above last Thurs and a lavage was carried out and biopsies taken. Ever since I have needed nebuliser every few hours. Chest feels tight and asthma very grumpy. I am not sure if this is normal and really could use some advice. When will it stop or should I call Consultant in the morning

What comes next for little ones?
My 4 year old daughter had a bronchial lavage and a
bronchoscopy
this past week. This is her second one. According to our consultant's at Addenbrookes and Prof Bush from the RBH, she is on the maximum doses of all of her medications and she is nowhere near under control.

Bronchoscopy
Going to have a
bronchoscopy
on Thursday. I know this isn't a usual test for asthma so most people on here probably won't have had one (they're puzzled and looking for other stuff with me), but if anyone has, anything that's useful to know?

Breathlessness anyone?
My 2 year old has Brittle Asthma (confirmed by
bronchoscopy
) and can only walk about 100 yards on average and then has to stop as she is out of breath. Her normal SATs when she is well, are 94!! We have never seen them higher unless she is on oxygen! Anyone else?

bronchoscopy and CT of chest for 2yr old
They now want to do a
bronchoscopy
and CT of chest under anaesthetic at the same time (audiology have suggested they bung in some grommits at the same time to get value for money out of the aneathetist!).

Not asthma
Had letter from consultant today (dated 21st April - really think they need to get their mail system sorted out at my local hospital as last one took ages as well judging by date on letter) saying 'lung function tests showed no evidence of asthma but I'd like to arrange a
bronchoscopy
as you may have

Cross-referral?
She also gave me a leaflet on
bronchoscopy
which she said was 'so you know about it if I ring you and say we're going to do one'. No idea though if will receive letter for that, or just call, or neither if they decide not to.

Anyone with swallowing problems?
My daughter chokes alot and had food found in her lungs on her
bronchoscopy
. She was therefore diagnosed with 'aspiration' and referred to a speech therapist. last week she had a video xray which looked at her swallowing mechanism.

Anyone experienced this?
Am hoping I can tone down the coughing and this feeling before I have a
bronchoscopy
as it doesn't seem likely to be very helpful.

Stuck between a rock & a hard place and very confused!!
On the other hand I'm back at my chest specialist on Friday for my
Bronchoscopy
results of the samples & biospsys so don't know whether or not to ask my GP to sign me off again until I've had those results as a compromise and then take it from there.

Fluctuating Sats
Today I had a
bronchoscopy
, and afterwards, waiting for the (very very mild) sedative to wear off, I turned round and saw my sats were at 92, but they then climbed quickly, (without me appearing to do anything), but kept changing pretty quickly, although they didn't go that low again that I saw.
