Hi!
Hi everyone! I've been diagnosed as having Asthma for about 14 years now and in the beginning it was awful, I used to be up all night in the summer coughing and wheezing etc etc. But then when I eventually went to see my GP he diagnosed Asthma and gave me all the relevant meds and peak flow equipment

Any ideas?
Okay I have already posted this by my phone decided that it should delete it for whatever reason :/ I have just recovered from a viral infection ( one of my main triggers) and usually I would be back to almost normal by now with only a slight cough. However this is my second one in a month - I don't

Is this part of CVA? or is it not asthma?
Hi everyone, I've had cough variant asthma since I was 1 (or maybe birth) and it has got better and worse in that time. Sometimes when I was younger it was accompanied by some wheezing but this stopped by the time I was about 10. I'm in my early 20s now and have had a few coughing-fit sort-of attacks

So the asthma takes a win, and now I'm concerned about work
Hi guys, So as you know, we had the hurricane. That two weeks basically came to a stand still, but also had bits and pieces of emergency issues, phone lines being down, and people generally getting back to normal. I must say, everyone was very stressed! Meanwhile, I had started this new job in

Hi everyone I have had asthma for many years and was diagnosed with mild COPD about 2 years ago and my question is
Should I have been offered a chest X-Ray or a CAT scan etc. when I was diagnosed to see any damage done to my lungs? I was diagnosed by my asthma nurse via a spirometry and peak flow test. She said my lung age was 89 which meant I was in the COPD range. I have never seen a doctor (for diagnosis) or

Replacing neb. cups/spacers-Do you prefer certain products?
Hi guys, So I was reading up on my neb. last night (LOL I think I must have been bored!!), and it was saying to replace the reuseable medication cup every 6 months. What I was wondering is I only use my neb. when I'm sick, which is for several weeks at a time throughout the year (like this attack

Personal Best Peak flow - changes over time
I was wondering if I should change my personal best PEF on my peak flow chart etc. My asthma has been very poorly controlled over the last 15 months or so and so I never achieve anything like my personal best. I forgot to ask my consultant when I saw him earlier this week, my GP would most likely not

Peak Flow Accuracy
I know most of you on here cite your peak flows in relation to how ill you feel, but am I the only one who doesn't seem to have much correlation between symptoms and peak flow reading? Only once, a few years ago, have I had a low reading of 350 and that was when I really felt terrible, but even now when

Help understanding Peak Flow readings
Can someone help me understanding Peak Flow? When I use my peak flow meter I blow around 390. But when I was with the asthma nurse yesterday her meter read 470. Mine has a yellow strip, hers is black. I found this website (http://www.peakflow.com/top_nav/normal_values/PEFNorms.html) which said there
