Going downhill again 😔
I'm currently on holiday in Gran Canaria. My peak flow is 270 and normally 450. I'm not sure if I have a chest infection again or not. I'm trying to hold it out until I get back to the UK on Thursday. I have been given a rescue pack of Prednisolone from my consultant which I started yesterday. So another

Just diagnosed.
Hi there I was diagnosed with Asthma on Wednesday . I had had flu and a chest infection 5 weeks ago that had left me with a cough, by the time I went to the Doctors I couldn't breathe, walk and talk all at the same time. My peak flow reading was 230 which went up to 360 after some Ventolin and a 20 minute

Shortness of breath

However I can't talk, eat or walk without struggling to breath. My airways always feel inflamed and and sometimes it

I've had asthma since I was 4 years old, i'm now sixteen and my asthma is getting awful. About to years ago my asthma started getting bad, I was using my salbutamol inhaler a couple of times a day so they gave me a brown preventative to take twice in the morning and evening. Although I was given a preventative

Concerned
Hi. I've just been to the docs to replace my rescue meds I have and the doctor wouldn't give me any more predisolone. She's not my usual doctor and I showed her my peak flow diary of how low it is at the moment 150 and normal is 300. She was more concerned with my hayfever, nose blocked and said she

Chest infection??
I have mild asthma usually, which flares up when I have a cold etc... I am prone to chest infections too. I only have ventolin inhaler, no preventor... I took a bad cold about 3 weeks ago which came with the cough and increased wheezing and low peak flow. My cold is all gone now except I still have

First time here. Difficulty cycling

Rattling
I've got a rattle which seems to be on the right side of my chest and seems to go down my side. I am taking all my hayfever drugs and I am taking my Seretide as prescribed. I've been taking my Ventolin a bit more too. I have been coughing as well. I've done my peak flow reading which is 450, about normal

Poorly controlled Asthma?
Thanks in advance for any advice / help :) 41-year-old male who was has had Asthma since birth. For the most part, lead a perfectly 'normal' life, apart from occasions where Asthma flare-ups (combined with hayfever) slowed me down. More than my fair share of chest infections etc and didn't help that

Has anyone else been told to use Pulmicort nebs after exercising?
I am not awfully well at present, goodness knows why. Anyhow went to have the Prednisolone discussion with doctor this morning, as peak flow has been hovering round red zone for days now. He, like my consultant, do not want me to stop exercising, I explained I was having to use a lot of Ventolin to
