Asthma and travel
I just got diagnosed with asthma and lung disease last year. I had to cancel my trip then and finally took the trip this year. I’m on a bunch of preventative meds including inhalers and montelukast, but I still struggled on the plane. I had trouble concentrating on reading or watching anything because

HRT and RA medication
Hiya, does anyone take HRT alternatives and RA medication? I take hydroxychloroquine daily (since July 2014) and MTX metoject (since Dec 2018) once a week. I took HRT ( for hideous hot flushes) for 11 years with no problems at all and after gradually reducing the dose right down to 3 tablets a week

Concerning advice re A&E
I have silent Brittle asthma that has been fairly stable for around 9 years but been extremely unstable since Dec last year. I have posted before and had some fab support, but this has been a weird and disconcerting shift ..... I finally got to see respiratory Consultant at my local hospital, but gutted

Asthma copd overlap.
Hi all. Really this is more about my asthma I think. But we will see. I am 55yr s old male. About 6 years ago after a major cold I started to need a puff of ventolin here and there , given by the GP but no steroid. This was ok for a while but I gradually needed more and more. After a while I went back

Wet weather!
I am newly diagnosed but I just wondered if anyone else is reacting to this terrible UK weather?? I’ve been on Clenil modulite preventer twice a day for 2 weeks now & it seemed to have worked wonderfully at first, I went over a week without needing to use my Ventolin. The last few days have brought torrential

does the hot weather effect your asthma?
so i have been given some antibiotics as i have a slight rattle on my chest and some prednisilone for a week and they have upped my symbicort. my peak flow right now average is 610 but my throat feels a bit tight, it is warm today though i am always reluctant to use my ventolin because of my anxiety,

Am I at risk of an attack?
Here's a overview of my relationship with the condition. I've had Asthma since a early age. I was hospitalised about 4 years of age and had to have a nebuliser then, but not anything serious like that ever since. I've recently got a spacer and I'm taking Ventolin and a 125 dose of Seritide 2 puffs, twice

combisal versus seretide
Is anyone else finding that combisal is not as effective as seretide? I have been having lower peak flow readings with combisal. Also it is harder to press down so that the metered dose is not accurate.

Peak flow reducing on ICS
Hi, can anyone tell me why my son's peak flow is lower since using seretide? His highest is 210 and he's just been gradually getting lower over about 4 months and had now been consistently around 150 about 2 months. The only time that it has gone back up is when he has had ibuprofen.

Low peak flow value?
Age 23, male, 5'10 inches. Weight 165lbs I have asthma and was using fostair 200/6 and reliever inhaler. Nurse changed me to Seretide 250 from the fostair due to persistent shortness of breathe and breathing difficulties. My peakflow for the last year has been 400-450. My PB this year was 450 i think

Asthma, hayfever and peak flow monitoring
I have just been diagnosed with asthma and given a blue inhaler (1-2 puffs up to 4 times a day as needed) and a peak flow monitor to track peak flow throughout the day. The morning measurements are much lower than midday and afternoon measurements. I take the blue inhaler when needed, normally in the
