Reactive airway, not asthma?
Hi, resp cons this week says not asthma he thinks but hyper reactive airways. Given Avamys for daily use but told not to use any regular therapy for any SOB unless e.g. chest infection, for which he gave script for prednisolone to keep at home. Also a script for Symbicort 200 but told this is not for

Difficulty sleeping,wheeze, and avoiding those paramedics!
It was this time last year my asthma decided to become brittle. I spent over a month with attacks on and off,in and out of hospital and over 6 weeks on steroids. I'm much fitter now and am running but am waking wheezy and breathless again. My tolerance to exercise is also starting to wain. I take my

Tight chest but normal PF
Hi guys, I had a flare up about 2 months back and after a tough couple of weeks when I moved from Qvar to Fostair it helped me get things back under control. Not totally back to normal but certainly back on track. Over the last day or two, however my chest has felt pretty tight in the mornings and evening

Late Onset Asthma Diagnosis
Hello everyone, I am a 53 yr old female diagnosed with late onset asthma. I visited my doctor 10 years ago with breathing problems, esp during the night, when I would wake up gasping, taking in air but appearing to be holding my breath. The Dr listened to my chest, said I wasn't wheezing, so it wasn't

Fev1
Hi i got a letter off my consultant today and it says fev1\fvc 1.35/2.55. Recent best 2.2/2.5 ( 2008 ). What does this mean? I don't know the readings of spiromatory test. Is this similar to peak flow?

Outcome of my consultant appointment
I have been waiting for my appointment to see the consultant at my local hospital and the day finally arrived on Wednesday. It was his last appointment and he looked tired but gave me his full attention. He was kind, listened to my questions and professional. There was a 5 point plan put into place

Stopping Brown Inhaler
I was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma aged 40 around 30 years ago. I played rugby till I was 60. I do tend to get chest infections in winter but respond quickly to antibiotics and have had pneumonia twice many years ago. I go to the gym three times a week to keep the phlegm shifting. I have always

chest tightness and breathing difficulty - exploring to find cause if anyone experienced same symptoms
On a daily basis I feel mild chest tightness in left part of my chest only, but on some days, I feel I am having very hard time breathing, and then I have to take bronco dilator inhaler. I feel heaviness only in left part of my chest, right part I feel completely normal. When I take Albuerol It gives

Coping with boredom
Despite having an excellent couple of weeks while on holiday in Lanzarote I’ve now come home and my lungs are really not happy about the pollen! My peak flow has gone from 450 or so to 230 this morning so my maintenance prednisolone has gone back up to 40mg 😩 (although I had only managed to reduce

Update
Hi all! So just wanted to update those who gave me advice last week when I was feeling very down about things. After some serious thinking and talking to family and friends, I saw my asthma nurse on Monday as I wanted to ask her if my cough could possibly be being caused by something other than asthma

Peak flow fall after taking symbicort 😕
Hi all. Sorry to bother you again. Following a recent flare I was prescribed symbicort and although my asthma nurse didn't advise me to do so I thought it might be a good idea to keep a record of my peak flow over the next few weeks till I see her again next month. They have been a bit all over the

Asthma flare not settling....
Hi all, I'm a (usually) well controlled asthmatic on Seretide 125 twice daily with very occasional use of ventolin. About a month ago after a week of camping/being outdoors, my asthma flared (tight chest, no wheeze or cough) and I was started on Pred 40mgs daily for 5 days. (only had x1 course of steroids

Mir smart one
Hi, I am considering buying a smart peak flow meter. Does anyone have any personal experiences of using one? Are they relatively easy to use? I do have a traditional type peak flow meter - which even with glasses on I find near impossible to read at the best of times, plus recording the reading is a

Stress and Peak flow
My peak flow has been about 70% of normal for the last week. I can't think of any reason for that, except its been an unusually stressful week. Does anyone else find stress affects them? and if so what do you do to get your peak flow back up?

Help Getting FEV1 Percentage From Liters
Hello, this is probably pretty simple for some but quite confusing for me. I have a Microlife peak flow meter and it does give the FEV1 but it does it in Liters and not percentages, which is the standard I can understand most. For example it says PEF is 447 Liters and then says my FEV1 is 2.77 Liters
