Peak flow 650 but highly symptomatic
Sorry for so many posts, just very confused and so are my doctors. My peak flow seems to slightly actually improve when my 'asthma' symptoms kick in. What's going on? Such symptoms include: - Tight chest chest, jaw/throatand abdomen. - Cannot breath too deeply or through nose much. Cannot feel 'cool

Feel so out of control
I've had adult onset asthma for many years and it was always relatively well controlled on seretide 250 and montelukast (just the odd chest infection through the years needing steroids and antibiotics). I never considered it a huge issue but I've had a massive drop in control in the last few months.

re recovering
I know this sounds silly but I still finding it hard to get my head around what is being recovered from an asthma attack. I had one on monday started taking my steroids (as per my asthma plan which says 7 days) and went to the doctors on Tuesday to tell them I had had an asthma attack. So far I am on

Low peak flow reading
Hi. I'm 52 and had asthma for years. Been worsening. Peak flow was 450 two years ago and now it's 250 max. My lung function tests are normal which baffles me a bit. Strong family history of asthma and Mum has COPD. Anyone any ideas or experienced this themselves?

Back again
Hi everyone, I hope your day is behaving itself! I was here a couple of weeks ago introducing myself as possibly having COPD. I had a GP appointment this morning... Repeat chest X-ray is clear. Doc is wondering if I am post viral though I don't remember having any signs or symptoms of a chest virus.

What to do now?
Hi everyone, I'm going to Poland for a few days in December, and I'm worried that the cold might set off another exacerbation - changes in weather seem to be a trigger for me. I was sent home from work last week, after being stubborn and refusing to admit that I was struggling with a peak flow reading

Has anyone experienced low peak flow after using Revla Elipta?
My consultant suggested I change from Seretide to Revla Elipta three months ago. My peak flow dropped right away and has remained lower than I would like ie about 200 if I'm lucky, slightly under if not. I mentioned this to the respiratory physio who encouraged me to keep going with it as the Seretide

Hi
Hi All, Diagnosed with late on set asthma at 60. Prior to this had been told my upper respiratory congestion was due to post nasal drip. But things got worse, climbing hills, any rapid change of pace etc. I am a survivor of breast cancer in my 40s, when I had lots of chemo and radio therapy to left side

Problems with corticosteroid inhalers
Does anyone else have problems whereby the corticosteroid inhaler seems to make symptoms of chest tightness and mucous worse after a few days of use? I was diagnosed with late onset chronic asthma this year, though I also have some fixed obstruction and a peak flow of 300 instead of 500. My symptoms

What's your Peak Flow before and after reliever?
As part of diagnonsis, I'm keeping a peak flow diary and logging scores before and after reliever inhaler, twice a day. I'm averaging peak flow 520 before inhaler and 620 after. I wonder what kind of difference others get? Maybe as a percentage change rather than getting hung up on the number as we're

What can I do?
Been coughing heavily since Friday so went the docs on Monday who listened to my chest and said I didn't have a chest infection but she could hear wheezing and that I was having an asthma flare up/exacerbation (she suggested it could be some sort of virus or the hot/cold damp air) advised me to double

Mucus as an asthma symptom
Hi, I had my first asthma review a few weeks ago and was told by the nurse that mucus wasn't a symptom of asthma. This was a shock as it's my main symptom and goes against the advice of a lung specialist I saw in Ireland earlier in the year who diagnosed allergic asthma. I was given a peak flow meter

Diagnosis using peak flow diary and reliever
Hi Following on from my initial post, where I was awaiting spirometery test and a xray, I got my results. My xray was clear and the spirometery results quite good, nearly matching the forecast graph. The only downside was a lung age reading 8 years older than me. So no COPD or tumors etc., leaving asthma
