Spring Noooo
Hola. My asthma has been well under control...then Spring hit! Now I cannot say that I amstruggling to breathe...but...my lungs feel so inflamed! I think it is the pollen! Started on March 24th and each day since then, its been up and down. Still on same dose. My 02 sats are 100. And no medication dose

Any info on Red Yeast Rice (RYR) masking PSA?
Strange query indeed. I had my monthly PSA test on Tuesday. For the whole week before that I was not taking my usual 20 mg of Atorvastatin + 10 mg Ezetimibe. In the meantime, I had ordered a bottle of Jarrow Formulas Red Yeast Rice +co-Q10. PSA came back as anticipated at 0.12, but the cholesterols

Arythmia/irregular heartbeat and peak flow
Has anyone had arythmia? I think mine is being brought on by the fostair. Also a symptom of arythmia (irregular heartbeat) can be breathless and fatigue. Would your peak flow still drop if your breathlessness was a heart issue and not an asthma issue. I’ve been saying my asthma has changed this last

Late asthma diagnosis + regular low peak flow
Hi all, hope you are well. I was diagnosed with asthma last year just after the pandemic kicked off, as such it's been quite an isolating experience getting support. It started off with me getting chest tightness, in particular at night, as well as wheezing. Was given blue inhaler over phone by GP not

Change in asthma
Hi, my asthma was under control under my previous meds for the first time in years until I was very poorly with a virus in Nov 2019 and it has worsened since. I have just changed my steroid inhaler to see if this helps but I am still having a episodes which are really new to me. Basically, they occur

My wife says that I have a lot of ASTHMA TOYS
My wonderful wife who looks after me and knows all of my asthma symptoms and how to cope with them says I HAVE TOO MANY TOYS FOR MY ASTHMA {Even though they all help me with my problems related to my lungs etc.} I am a bit of a gadget freak. I use my spacer for my inhalers. I have watch {Not an apple

Overlooked for vaccine, apparently not vulnerable !
My husband has eosinophilic asthma, takes fostair 200/6, montelukast, flixonaise and more. He has just finished a course of prednisone. He went to Dr last week and asked about vaccine and was told that because he hasn't had a hospital admission in the past 3 months he wasn't classed as severe so

Tips for dealing with Drs who don't get peak flow is personal...
I've finally got my (re-)referral appointment tomorrow but unfortunately with the same doctor who told me I needed to reduce my meds as my peak flow was too high 🤦🏻♀️, this was despite needing ventolin a few times a week and having quite large daily and day to day variability in my peak flow. She

EIB/Asthma not normal symptoms
Anybody out there who has been diagnosed with Exercise induced Asthma but does not have any of the normal symptoms ie wheezing, shortness of breath or tightness of chest. I just become strained inside and my peak flow goes down to about 450.

One step forward, two steps back
Well, after reducing prednisolone from 40 to 20mg, then having to go back to 25mg as my peak flow dropped, I’m now back on 30mg for at least one or two weeks! The gp has spoken to the respiratory team at the hospital and they say they wouldn’t do anything different at the moment ☹️. On top of that,

C.O.P.D. and thyroid.
My mother died 10 years ago of C.O.P.D. I am certain she had a thyroid problem all her life but it was never addressed. I have asthma so it seems, my lung capacity isn't very good, checking the Peak Flow meter it is now much worse from the last measure a year ago. Wondering if I have the beginnings

8 puffs of Fostair 200/6 a day - really?
I’m in the sixth week of oral prednisolone for asthma - tapering down 5mg a week from 40mg starting dose. Annoyingly, when I got down to 20mg, my peak flow started to drop so the doctor told me to go back up to 25mg and also to double the Fostair to 8 puffs a day. Is that a normal dose - I thought 4
