New to this group and hoping for thoughts
Hi, My local hospital are struggling and I am stuck in a round of catch 22 so hoping that there may be someone who can point me in a better direction! I have had asthma since childhood, generally only exacerbated by virus or allergies. 9 years ago everything went haywire and I ended up having very frequent

Learned LDL Cholesterol is Elevated to 151 (USA) or 1.7 in Europe & Prescribed Statin Drug Crestor 5mg!
First of all, I have not picked up my overall blood work papers from the doctor yet (will tomorrow), but was surprised she called me in a statin prescription before I saw the paperwork. I've been on depression meds for 2 decades and just am changing from Pristiq to Trintelix, so if I decide to take

Hi all, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. I had asthma as a child for years and it magically disappeared when I reached my teens. It came back with a vengeance in my late 20s and I started to experience my first ever attacks. Unfortunately my asthma has never behaved in the standard way. I

Unstable peak flow
So on day 6 out of 20 days of various tapering steroids. I’m taking regular ventolin thoughout the day and night. I keep on getting my peak flow up to 380/400 but then keeps on dropping 250/280 and can’t get it to stay up. I’m due at the chest clinic on Thursday afternoon so trying to hold out for

Really worried - new to this Asthma stuff - PF 150 morning & night
Hi there, apologies for convoluted explanation but I’m wondering whether anyone has experienced the same. I’m really not sure what I should be doing. Mid Nov I had a dental abscess flair up and the following week have had symptoms of severe breathlessness for the past 6 months. I was given 5 rounds of

Newly diagnosed at 40 & Ventolin questions! Long, sorry!
My GP says I have adult onset asthma. I joined the gym a couple of months ago and while I was getting very breathless and coughing quite a bit during a workout I assumed it was just because I was unfit, and it felt like my body could do more but my breathing wouldn’t allow it. However I was wheezing

Oh, crumbs!
I am due to leave early Sunday morning for a conference centre in north Ireland, and I will be there for 5 days. But I got a slight cold. No worries, but it has triggered my asthma a bit. So far, if I was not going away, I would monitor but not be concerned, not at this stage. I am feeling slightly breathless

Husband still suffering eosinophilic asthma mentioned but not yet diagnosed.
Hi, my husband has been ill since 27th December, he has had hospital visits and turned away saying he has sinusitis, a cold etc... then was admitted at the end of January. They still haven't diagnosed asthma but said it is likely eosinophilic asthma due to extremely high eosinophils. His symptoms are

What are your asthma flares like?
Question for the community: what are your severe asthma flares like? I’m in the middle of one and really struggling. The way mine manifest is: 1) I encounter a mild allergen such as dust or pet hair on someone’s clothes 2) I get allergic then the asthma kicks in and it becomes progressively hard to take

Asthma and new puppy
I'm 37 and have hayfever for close to 20 years. A week ago we got a puppy and almost immediately I had a strong reaction to it. I was hoping it was just a coincidence and it was just my regular hayfever. It got worse and I've ended up on steroids and been given an inhaler as my peak flow is about half

Undiagnosed as yet
Hi, I am a mid 50’s female and diagnosed from childhood with asthma that became brittle asthma from my 40’s. I was under a specialist centre 9 years ago when I was in and out of hospital every 2 weeks for 6 months with only being able to take small breaths. It feels like there is a concrete bandage tightly

Help please
I often feel short of breath, however when I check my oxygen it reads 97-99 and my peak flow is normal. I do have anxiety disorder, so I'm wondering if that could be the culprit and wether or not I should worry about this. For reference ok 20 years old w no health issues besides asthma and anxiety. Appreciate

Adult on-set Asthma at 23!
Hi all, I’m new here, so nice to meet y’all! The past 6 weeks I had been experiencing chest pain, particularly whilst laying down in bed and taking deep breaths. I finally saw my GP who suspects I have asthma, he said he’s 98% certain after listening to my chest and seeing a few days of my peak flow

Newly diagnosed feeling confused and afraid, it’s been a hard 6 months.
