Predicted vs personal best peak flow
Currently captured in costa - been here since Friday. Bit confused about the ward nurses stance on pf. My best is 600 and this mornings reading was 230 pre nebs. Desperate to get out so was a bit worried about this. I have home nebs so don't have to go 24 hours without them when I'm captured!! I asked

Feel a bit of a fraud
I was diagnosed over 45 years ago as a Chronic Bronchitic. I had a lobectomy of the left lung aged 18, and have had no medical check ups or treatment since then. Now in my early 60's, my average peak flow (Which I do more from curiosity than anything else) is around 160, I struggle a bit climbing stairs

Peak flow, low low low!
I have had a bit of a shock when I tested my peak flow, my partner is asthmatic and I decided to test my peak flow as my breathing has improved such a lot... I found that it is 330 and that is with EFFORT! It seems to vary what it should be but it is still at best 80 what evers under and at worst 130

Digital PEAK Flow Meter ?
HI all, I currently use a PIKO - 1 digital peak flow meter, but my local chemists cannot get any more, does anyone know if they are still being made, or can suggest another digital peak flow meter. thanks Peter

P.I.P Home Assessment - Feedback
Well, finally the assessment took place today. Wasn't too bad so will fill you in from application to home visit. Firstly, after phoning up on 27th June to apply for PIP (the day DLA changed to PIP), it took roughly 3 weeks from that first part of the application over the phone (similar to the previous

Asthma dream
After it was mentioned in a post the other day, I thought I'd say that last night i had a struggling to breathe dream ....something along the lines of going deep sea diving, only my air supply started to get cut off, anyway I normally stay asleep but last night I woke up and was actually struggling.

claggyness in throat
I'm getting a claggy feeling in my throat, like thick mucus that I can't swallow/bring up. At times it briefly closes off my throat and I can't breathe for a second or two. Any ideas what it could be? Asthma s not 100%, averaging 75-79% on peak flow, symptoms 3-4 times a week (2-6 puffs at a time) but

Everythings changed on here.
Haven't been on here for a while, bowed out when things were getting nasty, hope everything is calm and happy now? Just logged on to - once again - praise the NHS, or at least the Castle Ward of Royal Berks Hospital in Reading. Rocked up at A & E last Saturday at 5.30 am with COPD (or is it?) breathing

First appointment with asthma specialist
Hello everyone, I have my first appointment with an asthma specialist next to Tuesday at my local hospital. I have had a number of asthma reviews at my doctors surgery this year to try and get my asthma under control again but unfortunately the doctor has run out of ideas for medication that he can

asthma, anxiety or both?
How can you tell the difference between the 2?
