I have 2 more days of antibiotics and steroids left, hopefully that'll be it for some time!! My peak flow is up to 65% , I'm only using my blue inhaler about 2 or 3 times a day (usually after I've

Hello I'm new to the forum. I've had asthma for more years than I care to remember. In recent years it has been managed by taking a preventer everyday along with a reliever, prednisolone and antibiotics when bad. Now at 65 I've had a cough and breathlessness that never goes away so have been prescribed

Can't face going to see the asthma nurse
I'm 33 and have been diagnosed with asthma about a month ago by a Respiratory Specialist. However, at best I have high peak values than I ought to have based on my age and height, but the Respiratory Specialist was not interested in this only based on how much the values went up as I started to use an

Advice on severity
Hi, I always get good advice from this website due to the amount of people suffering with lung problems, so I hope to get a bit more today please. Well unexpectedly this morning two nurses turn up at my door to do a lung check from my local surgery, yes I do know them from the past. So they check me

Asthma attack recovery time?
Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums, and I'm wondering if anyone can help. I had an asthma attack/exacerbation on Tuesday, luckily I didn't need to go to A&E, but my GP put me on a 7 day course of prednisolone. I'm also using a Fostair 200/6 preventer and salbutamol when I need it. My peak flow readings

Incruse Ellipta
I've been on this new inhaler for a month and am considering stopping it as its given me first a blocked nurse followed by a constantly runny nose. It's not made any significant increase to my peak flow either. Does anyone have any good reports from using it?

When To Seek Urgent Help
Read recently (maybe even on this Forum) that a lot of Asthma Fatalities are caused by Asthmatics underestimating the severity of an attack they are suffering. I decided to supplement my 'gut feeling' as to how ill I was by incorporating some more objective criteria. I guess knowing how you feel must

Viral induced asthma?
My 9 year old girl has had "use when you need" inhalers since she was 12 months old, following bad breathing episodes during colds. Last winter she received a preventer which we used during the winter then stopped. I was monitoring her peak flow readings until a year ago and she was generally around

Improved FEV1.
I just had a peak flow test at my PCP's office and my FEV1 has gone from 46 percent to 75 percent. I do notice that my breathing has improved from three months ago. Can it be the Stiolto causing such a dramatic increase in FEV1? I also feel like I am getting full breaths now with the meds in me. I can

Peak Flow and Exercise
Hi Does anyone know (for sure) whether 'exercise alone' is proven to contribute to improved Peak Flow - or is it that any Peak Flow improvements I see will be entirely down to the medicine I'm taking, plus additional factors (avoiding allergens etc) that exclude 'exercise'? I know, for various reasons

Hello, and homocysteine
I'm Ruth, 65 and live in the UK. I recently did the Food for the Brain quiz and came out a bit iffy. So I did as they advised and had my homocysteine tested. The level was 9.4 which puts me at some risk of alzheimers according to their scale. I am aware of my memory and attention being less good than
