Keeping a peak flow record
Evening everybody, I had a pretty bad flare up a few month's back and the asthma nurse changed me from clenil to fostair. She asked me to take my peak flow result recorded for a couple of months, at the startI was averaging 350, months pass and yesterday I had my medication review with the asthma nurse

Should I reduce or stop my running? - low peak flow and low oximetry readings recently & after running
I've recently been running more and more in preparation for a half marathon. However, my peak flow has dropped and I've been taking more ventolin and more becotide inhalors. I'm male 5'7'' 44yo and my good peak flow is about 450 but the best I've blown in the last year is about 430. Good for me is

Help! Asthma getting out of control?!?!
Hi everyone! I have eosinophilic asthma and was discharged by my consultant last year and to go back to him if things get out of control again. Here’s my dilemma...’out of control’ to my consultant means a low peak flow and the need to use steroids. But I have been coughing for the last two months...

Going back to seretide?
I’ve just been asked in for my annual review and want to ask the nurse if I can go back to seretide. I came off it a few years ago when there was some research about increased risk of pneumonia as I have mild bronchiectasis. I’ve tried quite a few alternatives and have been on flutiform for a couple

Breathlessness
I’ve had a call from my cardiologist who has said my echo came back with good results. (Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair 18 months ago) Diagnosed with Heart Failure weeks ago. Slight MV leak). My peak flow readings are around 600. The Cardiologist said that he thought my breathlessness is likely

Peak flow readings
Good morning all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure and I’ve been asked to use a peak flow meter to check my lungs. Over the last week my average is around 575 (I’m a 6ft - 68 years old- male). I think this is ok and shows my breathlessness is caused by my Heart Failure. My question is

Almost a year and still no diagnosis, don't know what to do
Last year I started to have bouts of breathlessness which I've never had before (27m) this stemmed into coughing up sticky pale yellow strings or chunks, as gross as it sounds, since then I undertook a peak flow test, I took home a device, which was inconsistent, I was given both types of inhaler with

Does anyone use a peak flow meter
I’m completely baffled. I had an Echocardiogram 2 weeks ago. Had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair 18 months ago. Last September getting more & more breathless and dizzy. Appointment with cardiologist cancelled in January. Collapsed in March. Hospital for 3 days - discharged with Heart Failure

If it is not asthma, could there be something wrong with my lungs? 🤔🤔
Hi. What is your opinion on this? Do you think I have Asthma or something else (perhaps a lung problem)? 🙂 I'm 19 years old and have been significantly out of breath always, from the age of 6/7. It was not until I was about 15, that I was officially diagnosed with asthma by the gp after I had an asthma

Cholestasis & Pre Eclampsia
Hello, I am new here! I had quite a bad fist pregnancy severe sickness up until 16 weeks then I had Cholestasis at around 28/30 weeks and had to be induced at 36 weeks. Birth was ok but then had pre-eclampsia and stayed in hospital for a while afterwards. Is it likely I will have Cholestasis this time

Singer with Severe/Brittle Asthma (non-allergic)
Hey everyone, 24 yr old female here. I'm currently on 184/22 Relvar Ellipta and Salbutamol after trying every other inhaler available. They didn't work and made it even worse; Relvar now works but the GP says it's the strongest medication they have that works for non-allergic asthma. My triggers are:

Immunological Markers
Hi all, I've received a confusing letter after my last frustrating consultant appointment. The consultant states that my Immunological Markers show that I don't need to be on high dose steroids. What markers are these? The only blood tests I've had done whilst in this flare was when I was also on pred

STEROID LENGHT
Hi All, just looking for some advise and other people’s experiences. I was diagnosed with asthma in January 2019 at at 54 after a bout of pneumonia. I’ve managed it very well over the past 2 years using antihistamine, Relvar Elipta and Montelukast. I became so well that I stopped taking the montelukast
