This second one will act as a major determinant for my upcoming taxi driver's medical. My clinic hasn't used the peak fliw for over 8 years, but rather a

Anyone with covid?
Hi there! I’m day 4 into covid and would love to compare notes with other asthmatics who have it. I started with a very sore throat then had a terrible headache and body pains. Now I’m exhausted and my lungs are tight and feel a little hot but my peak flow and oxygen are good. My pulse is higher than

Peak flow
Hi my peak flow is currently around 300. I have never been very good at assessing the servitude of my asthma and hardly notice when I am breathless of wheezing as I have had asthma for so long. I am now a 48 year old(female) and am trying to take better care of my asthma. I have noticed I am sometimes

Clenil side effects?
Hi all - first post. I have mild asthma, which is normally asymptomatic, and only appears sometimes after a bad cold, which goes on to affect my chest. I have an asthma review annually and the asthma nurse knows and approves of the fact that I do not normally use a preventer, unless I start with a cold

Understanding Asthma UK advice about distinguishing between different symptoms
Hello, I hope people are doing ok. I am confused by some of the asthma UK videos. In one they say take your peak flow so you can tell if it's asthma or covid, and they have sent through the table of differing symptoms (cold/flu/asthma/covid etx). However I thought the whole point is that these things

Asthma app?
Hi all. Went for lung function tests recently, and they want me to record my peak flow 4 times a day. At the moment, I record my peak flow directly into the Apple Health app, but I can't print it out to give to anyone. Can anyone recommend an iOS app that links to Health and allows export without having

Cholbiomex3
Has anybody taken Cholbiomex3 to reduce their cholesterol? It contains a probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum, Vitamin B3 (nicotinamide) and red yeast rice rich in monacolin K. The reviews read very good although some folk had the same reactions as they did from statins due to the addition of monacolin

Anxiety -
So like most of you at the moment., Anxiety is high. I assume my asthma is manageable, I've possibly not been the best at being on top of it at times. A few weeks ago I had a cold or something flares my asthma and have just got a little more on top of it. Peak flow (on night one this week) is 625 ish

Feeling wheezy and tight chested but peak flow is high
I've had a bit of a viral infection (not Corona) which included sinusitis and mild chest infection. It lasted about two weeks and during that period I was getting more wheezy than normal. I increased my Fostair preventer inhaler to two puff morning and night but my wheezing has been getting worse. I
