How do I know when its time to go to hospital?
I've been diagnosed with asthma for 18 months although i've had milder symptoms for a very long time. Last week my asthma was getting worse after having a cold. I saw the nurse at the gp's but my peak flow at the time was ok. she did believe i was worse at times though and increased my inhalers. Monday

Prednisolone - fast working or takes its time?
Howdy everyone. Asthma started going nutty 2 weeks ago. Wound up on 30mg of pred on Thursday, had it upped to 60mg this morning, on top of my usual inhalers, aaaaaaaand I don't feel much better. My peak flow has increased a wee bit (390 to 420 when my best is between 450-470) but I'm still tight-chested

Squeaky Voice
Hello everyone I feel a bit guilty with this question as is seems so trivial compared to what so many of you suffer on a daily basis but it’s something that has puzzled me since being diagnosed in June. I have a problem speaking. In everything I’ve read about asthma they say that if you cannot

Infection still
Hi This is my first ever post, and was just wondering if anyone else had symptoms like myself, regarding my recent infection. I always have Symbicort 400/12 two puffs twice a day, and use the Smart approach, although being on this treatment, i never ever feel 100% but much better than in the past.

Re Symbicort 200/6
Hi all Just wondering, i've recently had my symbicort inhaler reduced fromm 400/12 2 puffs twice daily, to symbicort 200/6, 2 puffs twice daily. My peak flow was 357 when i went for my asthma review, even though it was lower, they still reduced my symbicort ? The reason they reduced it is they are concerned

Exercise and Asthma
I thought I would share with you all a positive experience, in case it helps anyone else with Asthma. I'm an allergic asthmatic, and I take the brown, green and blue inhalers. One of the things recommended to me by my GP was exercise to help improve my lung function. Which isn't terribly bad but could

? not asthma diagnosis or maybe atypical *rant alert*
Aargh, saw resp. consultant finally for the first time. Conclusion was on a lot of meds (never) but with no allergies on IgE blood test/spirometry good/no A&E etc either atypical asthma or something else ? dysfunctional breathing. Anyway, have to keep another peak flow and go for bronchial provocation

Peak Flow & Asthma Attacks
Hi, Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to be having an asthma attack whilst still having a good peak flow reading?

Lansoprozole / review
Since I started taking this I'm constantly hungry. Has anyone else experienced this? I mentioned it in my asthma review yesterday and the nurse didn't think it was a side effect. Also because I wasn't wheezing (after sitting quietly in a warm waiting room) and my peak flow was OK (it was 12:00 - it's
