Pre-eclampsia at 26 weeks....
Hi ladies, I had pre-eclampsia at 26 weeks, after knowing something was wrong from a week and a half before i was in and out of the doctors surgery and midwifes office. 'Nobody took me seriously...' I was just claimed to be at the age of 22 'A young first time anxious mum.' I knew something wasn't right

What does all the FEV and other no's mean?
Hi all, I have recently seen my COPD nurse and the results of the tests she did were : FEV 1 0.59 L. FEV1 FVC RATIO 50% FVC 1.17 L PEAK FLOW 125 I haven't a clue what this all means or if it implies what stage I'm at, and as I'm considering making a claim for attendance allowance would really appreciate

Inhaler bag/case
Can anyone recommend a good case or bag that would fit an inhaler, spacer and peak flow metre in please. My daughter is 10 and going on her first school residential soon and just want to make sure all her bits are kept safe and together :)

Permanently low peak flow, nothing helps!
I'm 62, and have had asthma since a baby. It thankfully does not affect my daily life, (unless I go up a hill and then I get a bit breathless) but my peak flow NEVER goes above 240, and hasn't for years. I've had a lot of hospital tests, and been put on various inhalers, but nothing makes any difference

Crossover of symptoms, hot flushes driving me mad!
I know meno and hypo symptoms cross, like the bodies inability to control temperature. At the moment all my bloods vitamins etc have come back OK so meds should be optimum (75mg Levo). I suffered hot flashes for the last 3 years or so, my GP recommended red clover and soy isoflavines! I tried black

Frequent respiratory infections, and pain in right hand side of chest (exacerbated by monthly periods) - anyone have similar? Any advice?
This is my first time asking a question - so it may be a little longwinded! I have Asthma, and Chronic Sinusitis (both of which I do not think are very well managed by my G.P.). My peak flow is usually around 320 - 380 at best (I am 43, female, non-smoker, petite). My Asthma Nurse seems to think this

post reliever peak flow
Yesterday I thought I'd try some exercise for the first time since I started with the last chest infection. Big mistake, unfortunately as my chest got very tight and I ended up using 10 puffs of ventolin. It did the trick and the tightness went but my peak flow still wasn't that high. Before exercise

Bronchiectasis and Haemophilus Influenzae
Hi everyone, I am 31 and was diagnosed with bronchiectasis in august 2012. It followed a 2 year period of having chest infections that wouldn't quite go away. At first they thought it was asthma but after trying inhalers and peak flow tests it showed that was not the case. I then had spirometery tests

Can't get my asthma controlled
I have had asthma since I was 10 and has been fully under control until christmas this year I'm now 42. Since christmas I have been on steroids 5 times and been on them permanently for last month, but it isn't making any difference I am continually out of breath doing the simplest thing, taking a shower

Morning dip in peak flow + symptoms
Does anyone here have issues with morning dips in their peak flow, that coincide with coughing/wheezing fits? I've had asthma for nearly 2 years now, I started out just using Ventolin and was diagnosed based on wheezing, coughing fits and massive variations in my morning and night peak flow... Since

I was referred to an Asthma nurse who believes I have Asthma. I was prescribed

Seretide is it the answer?
Hello I've had asthma since I was born and it seems worse controlled than ever with lots of exacerbations oral steroids and thrush in my throat and airways. I stopped my nasal sprays earlier this year and switched to nasal washing and that seems to have improved things, it's certainly stopped the thrush
