Feeling low
Hi. Just wanting to share my thoughts with people who might understand, although I realise my problems are nothing compared to many here and I’m probably just making a fuss about nothing. Apologies for the long post. For background info, I’m 46 and have had asthma since a toddler. Started having more

I'M NEW HERE AND ON PREDNISOLONE FOR A YEAR FOR GCA
Since being diagnosed last October with GCA and prescribed Prednisolone, I've had breathing difficulties and fluid retention for which I am being treated but not very successfully - are the two connected? Does any other member have these difficulties. I've Googled and while there is no established evidence

Peak flow and trial of treatment
Hi I’m new here, just looking for some thoughts and advice... Back in spring I had a virus, just a cold really, and ended up with a cough/throat tightness which lasted around 6 weeks. Meantime I received an appt for a shoulder Xray due to a muscular issue. X-ray came back fine but I was subsequently

Peak Flow
Hi All, I've just discovered that my peak flow is 250. Do I need to be alarmed or is this quite normal with COPD?

Peak Flow reading slowly dropping

Medication Review
Only I could go for a medication review (my gp surhery insists on them every 12 month's) and get a call back from the gp I saw less than an hour later for a chest xray and spirometory with the asthma nurse All because I mentioned my peak flow was dropping and i suspected it's because of the changing

Breathing worse after quitting smoking update.
Morning All. I had great support after stopping smoking 4 months ago from this forum so I thought that I would stop by and give an update which may help others. After stopping smoking my breathing actually started to get worse. It was like I couldn’t take a full breath in and my chest felt tight. My

Cold and flu season
Hi everyone. As cold and flu season approaches here in UK I would appreciate any advice as to what to do if you get a cold etc? I'm new to asthma so I'm not sure - should I visit the doctor at the first sign of a cold or just increase my preventative inhaler? I use my preventative inhaler as my relief

Hoping for improvement - lining scan
Just awaiting my lining check this morning after a cancelled cycle and hysterscopy that showed thin pale unresponsive lining. I’ve literally done everything I possibly can to improve; acupuncture, fertility massage and yoga, castor oil packs, good diet, no drink, vitamin c, d, e and l’argine, co enzyme

Can’t shake off tight chest feeling despite good peak flow / inhaler use
Mystery catalysts to chest tightness... I’m 32 and I’ve had asthma most of my life. I smoked in my teens to mid 20s and didn’t look after myself (in terms of prevention/inhalers). Since moving to London a few years ago my asthma has exacerbated. I now look after myself - exercise where possible,use

Intrinsic asthma and non allergic rhinistis.
I have horrible rhinistis to the point I'm mouth breathing most of the time and I've been prescribed avamys which didn't work and now dymista which makes me feel ill and unblocks my nose very little, my asthma feels worse with this, I take symbicort twice a day. yet peak flow is always 550, does anyone

Should I take prednisolone?
I've been struggling and off work since Wednesday. Used rescue inhaler several times on Wed. Peak flow was 300 (best is supposed to be 450, but a long Time ago). Doctod gave me prescription and said to use if I got worse. By then pf was 380. It's been fluctuating between 350 and 380 with blue inhaler

Is my Peak flow high enough?
Just wanted to ask the community about PF. My peak flow is on average at 88%. I’ve read conflicting info about where it should be if control has been achieved. Some info is saying between 80-100% of PB is controlled while the impression I got from reading Asthma UK is that if it is less than PB you should
