Change of inhalers
Hi there Had an asthma review with the nurse today as I have recently felt that my asthma isn't under control. I have been experiencing shortness of breath and chest tightness (no cough or wheeze) and having to use salbutamol more than normal. Peak flow was normal today so she didn't feel my asthma

Reply to Q 'Do I have asthma & not know it?'
I know exactly the feeling in my respiratory tract and scenario you describe. I had to see a Locum GP and he changed my life. He prescribed Furosemide, sold under the brand name Lasix. My Cardiologist said it's not necessarily because I have heart failure. I think the respiratory tract is in a constant

Asthma or something else?
For the last 3 years I have had a strange crackly, squeaky sound but only some of the time. I kind of thought it was seasonal. My GP didn't think it was Asthma, he arranged various heart tests and it was found I had mild aortic stenosis. My current doctor is revising the tests. However, I have been

Severe asthma help
I have had asthma since I was 5 years old, I'm now 29 and it has gotten progressively worse. I have finally been referred to a specialist after all these years. I have tried montelukast but the side effects gave me severe migraines which left me bed bound and I have two young children to run around

Plaquenil and pregnancy
Hi there! I recently read on an APS Facebook group that Plaquenil might improve pregnancy outcomes in women with APS. For those of you who've taken plaquenil to prevent miscarriage/pregnancy complications, did your family Doctor/high risk OB/rheumatologist/etc prescribe it? A little about me. I've had

Peak flows good but still short of breath
Hi. I had a severe asthma exacerbation that lasted 10 weeks! It is finally under control. Yay! My peak flow is back to normal and no wheezing or rattle. But I am still short of breath sometimes and weak. Has anyone else experienced that? I hate to go back to the doctor when my peak flows are good, but

Peak flow good but SpO2 at 94?
I'm having a really bad time with asthma lately, I've been to A&E a few times but they havne't done much about it. The thing is I don't have the classic wheezing symptoms, but I do feel short of breath, with pain and pressure in my chest. I use my peak meter and pulse oximeter to measure my oxygenation

New with odd symptoms
Hi all. Newbie & first post, might be a little long. I'm a 32 year old male, generally healthy (gym 3 times a week, run, box etc) but my asthma has been badly controlled pretty much since it was diagnosed when I was about 17. I have smoked for a lot of my adult life, since before asthma and during but

I am afraid to hope, but I think
I think my uncontrolled asthma of the past 6 weeks is getting under control. It happened so fast. Yesterday and now today, I am hardly wheezing or short of breath. My peak flow used to drop by the hour after using Ventolin, and now it stays pretty steady all day. The allergist increased my Symbicort

Anticardiolipins false positive
Hello everyone, I had been tested for APS after pre eclampsia and death of my son. No history of miscarriage. The first test done 15 days after my c section was positive for anticardiolipins (48). They repeated the tests 4 months after, came back at 1.2 so strong negative. All other tests are negative

Rather strange GP appointment
Hi there For background info, I'm 44 and have had asthma since a toddler, which improved as a young adult and then worsened again as I got older. I'm on Flutiform (250, two puffs twice daily), montelukast, salbutamol, cetirizine and recently carbocisteine (for persistent productive cough). Apart from

Frustrated :(
Hi all.. I've had asthma since I was about 9 and it was so mild I would almost forget I had it! I'm now 20 and this past year, I feel like my asthma has got so much worse.. However, where it has always been well controlled, I'm starting to wonder whether a lot of time its all in my head.. For example

Shortness of breath but nothing shows in tests?
For about a month now I've gradually had more and more trouble breathing. However, nothing showed up in any tests. My oxygen levels are 99-100%, peak flow is a little under but nothing of concern, nothing wrong showed on blood tests, an x-ray I had was perfectly clear and fine. I've tried sleeping pills

Partial Lung Collapse
Hi everyone Had some shocking news (to me) and hopefully somebody could make things clearer and if I need a second opinion. For three weeks, I have had an annoying cough and as the TV advert says, I went to my GP to see what it was. I was refered to the hospital for a chest xray and I got the results
