Returning to work after a asthma attack
I'm due to return to work on Tuesday(8-11-16) but I'm still feeling absolutely awful after being in hospital on nebulisers and being signed off for two weeks. I have an appointment with my GP Monday morning, do you think I should ask to be signed off again as I'm still coughing a fair bit and I can't

low peak flow
I am 86 years old and for the past 40 years or so have been diagnosed with COPD. My height is 65 inches and weight 9 stone. My peak flow is usually about 260. It has been around this value for the past 40 years. I take 2 puffs a day of beclamethasone. I run twice a week over about 3 miles across country

Peak Flow
Hey all, I'm in the process of being diagnosed with asthma... but there seems to be a lot of differing ideas around what my peak flow should be. One says 440 and one was 485.. I'm 5"6', female, white, 24 year old .. my peak flow is averaging at 340 at the moment, but sometimes gets up to 390/400. Lowest

I'm really not that bad, but...
Compared with many folks on here, I'm really not too bad but I'm not tickety boo either! I have asthma, COPD and Bronchiectasis. I start the day with great promise - full of ideas of what to do - people to see, places to go. Then I do my physio and have a little rest before having my shower, after which

Improved, but got worse yesterday so saw GP. Now on 40mg pred and stronger antibiotic. I can get air into my lungs ok and am not

Flutiform v. Seretide
Have had a persistent flair up of asthma symptoms for the last three months following a severe chest infection which was treated with a course of antibiotics and steroid tablets alongside my usual 2x250 Seretide morning and evening. This was then increased to 2x500 twice a day as well as the addition

Peak flow readings
Hi, can anyone tell me re average peak flow readings. I know we are all different but my average seems to be 340 ish. Is this poor readings? What is normal 'good' or just plain old good. I have brittle asthma. Feel drained and exhausted most of the time.

Exercise trigger
Hi My asthma is usually triggered by allergies or emotions. Yesterday I had to run as fast as I could in the autumn air and had a nasty flare up of my asthma. I used nebuliser a couple of times yesterday and overnight had a horrible sore gunky chest. Today peak flow is still low and chest is sticky (

Peak Flow Levels
What does everyone here class as a good peak flow reading, and what is a poor reading? I usually only have mild asthma, and my peak flow remains stable... This past week or so Iv noticed it has dropped... Iv had a cold, really bad cough and been really wheezy and crackly. I have been taking my inhaler

Coughing
I'm sorry, I seem to be posting lots just lately! So, for more than 4 weeks I've had this chest infection, numerous antibiotics and 2 lots of steroids haven't helped and now I've caught a head cold to go with it. Peak flow is around 65% and using ventolin every day. During the day my cough tends to

Mild Wheezing
Hi! Can you guys describe your wheezing sound? Can you clearly hear that it's coming from the chest? I've always been a cougher, and for the past year I've had a slight wheeze at night every once in a while. However, after the temperatures have dropped to below 10 C where I live, I've had the wheeze

Grr can't shake this cough!
Now more antibiotics to try and get rid of this cough/chest infection. Now both lungs have 'creps'? No wheeze tho, so apparently no need for more steroids or an increase in seretide. Peak flow still only 65% at best. Also had chest x-ray to see what's going on. Following this, if it continues I'll need
