Are Prednisolone steroids bad when you have Hashis ?
Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. I’ve had a nasty cough and went doctors thinking I’d get antibiotics but he said it was a virus and because my asthma had gotten worse ( peak flow dropped a bit) I should take a short course of steroids (prednisolone 5 mg ..6 a day for 5 days). I read that they

When is the best time for peak flow measurement?
I think I’ve asked this question before but I would be grateful for clarification. I usually take a peak flow reading before my combo inhaler and about 1 hour after. Last night I was at 76% which increased to 89% post combo inhaler (no other meds taken). Which reading is the best one to judge how well

Red Clover
Hi, has anyone had experience of taking Red Clover. I am having dreadful side effects of being on stains and in an effort to reduce the amount I am taking I have read that Red Clover is an excellent way of reducing the harmful levels of cholesterol. I have talked through the options with my doctor but

Sorry if this has been asked before. Does anyone suffer from recurrent chest infections?
At the moment I seem to be getting chest infections every 2 weeks- a month and am getting pretty fed up. I have been told I don’t have asthma or a lung condition as even though my peak flow is low it’s because I’m in a wheelchair! Even though I’m a full time athlete. I keep getting very short of breath

Question about GERD and asthma?
So I'm still not sure if I have asthma or not. But the basic of the story is after several infections etc I may or may not have asthma, see asthma nurse next week to go over peak flow. In the meantime while I am suffering yet another infection, one if the lovely ladies on my yard asked if doc had spoken

Asthma triggered by ibuprofen?
Yesterday I had a very large hip labral tear repaired. My resps apparently went so low with Fentanyl I wasn’t allowed any more. Apparently that is 10 resps per min. At 8 they have to breath for you. Anyway I am undergoing a raft of tests at the moment as the GP thinks no wheeze and a normal peak flow

Puzzled - stepping up preventer medicine when symptoms come on so quickly
I was diagnosed at age 60 close to 6 years ago after a series of winter illnesses left me breathless and with a constant cough. My asthma was well controlled after a number of weeks on Clenil Modulite. Then a GP suggested I step down to 1 puff twice a day from 2. All was well until I got a chest infection

Specialist appointment - after 15 months
So finally got my specialist appointment for a consultant that I was with previously waiting since last August. I was waiting so long I went to see him private and because I have involved in a study he said he wouldn't change anything with my inhalers until he was seeing as a public patient in the hospital

Asthma Novice at 32
Hi folks, so I was diagnosed with 'mild asthma' as a late teen. Got the little white inhaler and a few days if be fine. I then had it return 5 years ago at 27 when pregnant and got a blue inhaler. Can you tell I'm a proper novice? Figured I'd grown out of it as I've had no issues since... Until 3 weeks

Wheezy but ok
Hi, still awaiting my actual diagnosis but I have a question. I'm on brown inhaler and have blue one too. Last few days I've had cold but I've also noticed I get wheezy about the same time every evening. My peak flow readings aren't bad and I don't feel bad. I took my blue inhaler but it had no effect

Stuck in asthma limbo
Hi all. I’ve come here to have a little moan/rant about being stuck in that phase of asthma where you’re not bad enough to go to hospital but are definitely not ‘well’ in the sense of feeling good and being able to do normal things. Since having a cold-induced flare up about four weeks ago I’ve been
