2 week long Asthma related issue. Still unwell and right lung feels heavy / blocked.
Hi guys, My name's Leif. First time poster. Im a 29 year old. I had a big exacerbation in 7 months ago and almost died. Now recently 2 weeks ago I went to hospital for my breathing. I was admitted to hospital after my peak flow was 150 (normally 420+). They pumped me with Ventolin every 4 hours,

Flu Jab?
So just been to my GP who has put me on a course of steroids after that nasty cough/cold bug doing the rounds has hit and I haven’t been able to shake off for the last two weeks and as a consequence has set my so called seasonal asthma off! So been back on my Clenil Modulite as it hit my breathing straight

Great peak flow but I can't breathe!
Hello, I would be grateful for advice, please. Long-term asthmatic (using daily Symbicort/Ventolin) mostly having flares with exercise, colds/chest infections/hay fever. I can become quite ill with a chest infection. Daily OK with peak flows of c 420-450. My question is that I have begun my 'old

Two Asthma Attacks in the space of Two Months—Should I be concerned?
Before I get into this whole thing since I am new on this forum, I just want to start off by saying that from birth I was quite sickly. I was born with malfunctioning kidney valves that taken two years to fix, had severe asthma growing up and my first asthma attack was when I was 8 years old, I had two

Help getting a diagnosis
I’m currently undergoing testing and have been prescribed a reliever inhaler only. Because I was experiencing chest pain my gp is investigating potential heart problems and although he has prescribed an inhaler, won’t diagnose asthma or prescribe a preventer inhaler at this time. I’ve been experiencing

Seretide to Fostair, my experience and concern.
So like all of us my Asthma gets worse in the Winter, however this year I wanted to just check in with my Doctor about my symptoms. I mostly struggle breathing at night, I average a 550 on my peak flow in the day (I'm 50 year old male) but with Ventolin get straight back up to healthy 650. I was on

In the red zone and under pressure to be at work
I have been in my red zone for the last few days thanks to a colleague who passed on her cold which of course caused my asthma to flare up. Thanks to my new asthma nurse I now have abx and steroids on standby at home which I started taking when peak flow dropped. I have a three monthly review with her

Best peak flow app
Made a silly error by downloading a peak flow app and registering my pf three times a day. A week in just worked out that you can only do once a day so it’s been wiping out any measurement before. What do you all use?

Confused and looking for advice please :)
So this question is mainly aimed at people who have a mild form of asthma I guess. And I know that I've asked a few questions before and gotten advice based on it but just wondering if someone has been in this situation or what I could do. Thanks in advance. Trying to keep this short...and failing ;

Confusion
Hello With ongoing tests to determine what’s going on I just wanted to ask you guys some questions. Whenever the doctors listen to my chest I’ve usually been sitting around waiting for ages and any wheeze has gone so I don’t feel the seeing the whole picture. As long as I sit still I’m fine. If I’m being

1st Post on my lung condition,sorry if very long post.
Hi All. Came onto this forum as I am a member of Healthunlocked C25K & Bridge to 10K so seemed natural to do so. I went for a spirometry test on Nov 8th then back to see nurse specializing in chronic disease management today on 13th November. I started smoking late in life at about 45 years old and

Autism met Asthma
Hi, I get anxiety as part of my autism. I am finding it really difficult to express the symptoms I am getting. I can see my peak flow is dropping but when I express it to the asthma nurse she is just passing it away as though nothing is wrong. I know from having asthma for years than when your peak flow

Struggling
Hi all, I am a brittle asthmatic, admitted on Monday after a weekend of struggling. I increased my steroid and nebuliser (which is usually only for emergency use) before seeing the GP on Monday morning. She sent me in to the hospital (straight to the ward, no A&E). Fast forward to today. Other than

So many bugs!
Ugh so I’d just managed to clear one virus (+ pleurisy) that I was in with 2.5 weeks ago and already seem to have picked up another one 🙄 That combined with the cold, damp weather, our neighbours having fireworks earlier in the week and Diwali celebrations on tonight mean I have one unhappy chest 😫

In need of your expertise!
Hey all. I’m in need of a bit of advice and I think my question is well placed here given all of your experiences. I’m terribly allergic to lots of things and have been under immunology for many years and they do a great job of managing my allergies. This year, I developed a serious case of breathlessness

Anyone tried elderflower tea?
I'm always routing around the web for anything that might help fix PD. There are a few articles about elderflower that show promise. https://www.realnatural.org/native-american-herbs-parkinsons-disease/ Extract "The finding of four herbal medicines that induce Nrf2 among dopamine-producing brain cells
