Hello again, quick question re pulmonary hyperinflation…..
I was sent to A&E with pains in chest/breathlessness/low Oximeter reading on evenings, it feels like pleurisy (I’m also in the middle/end of a Bronch flare) Hospital did an X-ray and it showed pulmonary hyperinflation, but they didn’t give me anything to help. So obviously, I still can’t breath

Allergy to steroids?
I've had
inhalers
since then (25 years). Recently I've been having problems with the steroid inhaler - didn't really use it much over the years because it was horrible but over the last 5 years I've been using it more due to allergies to various things and the covid lock down.

high dose ventolin
I assumed this was what the drs had told us to do and I'd just kept doing it but i had a search and most people do not seem to use their rescue
inhalers
like that at all! Theytake one puff and they are fine. There's no extended breathing in and out.

Smoke and smokers
Hi all -- Assuming your asthma is well controlled (via Xolair or your inhaler of choice), do you still get symptoms if exposed to smoke (e.g. a nearby fire), or from being near smokers? I have a respirator mask with me at all times, but it still takes a few breaths to realize there is an issue and

struggling to cope with COPD
I posted some time ago but feel I need further advice and this forum seems to be the best place to receive it. As yet due to COVID I have yet to have a spirometry test. The doctor just tells me he thinks I have mild COPD and I have a ventolin inhaler to use when I am wheezy. My peak flow is usually

Duoresp Spiromax Vs Symbicort Turbuhaler
I have been on Symbicort Turbuhaler for a few years and it has been fine. When I last went to get my script filled, the pharmacist asked if I wanted to try the Duoresp Spiromax - said it was exactly the same as Symbicort, but a better delivery method/easier to use inhaler. I used it for 2 nights. Both

Hi! Hoping for some guidance from people with greater knowledge of asthma than myself. I had my asthma under great control during the pandemic when I was working from home (using preventer inhaler in the morning and at night-never needing my blue inhaler). In June I had to return to work in a different

surgery and effects on asthma
I had ear surgery today and the anaesthetic team were fantastic regarding my asthma, with putting me at ease and talking me through different plans if anything happened re asthma. They decided to give me some steroid (for anti sickness and hep my chest as a preventative measure) 3/4 through the surgery

Blood blisters
I currently take seretide, I have tried changing
inhalers
, however this didn't solve the problem. I think long term steroids are the cause. I have been to medical professionals over the years , and they say its not
inhalers
yet all other causes are ruled out.

post vac booster runs
Well I had my autumn booster a week ago Friday and didn’t think anything of it. I’m one of those people who had no side effects from the first 3 bar a headache for 24 hours with the first one. But this time I have felt not quite right all week. Don’t know if it’s coincidental but I’ve been lethargic,

Morning chest.
Every morning I use my brown preventer inhaler before I leave home but I still feel a heaviness in my left chest area when I walk for the bus. Does anyone else have this and what's causing it please?

Old but new here.
I have a concentrator, 4L currently and all the generic
inhalers
they give for COPD and nebulizer. I am currently ambulatory, and sleep in a hospital bed with my head raised up to help guard against aspirating in my sleep. Oh yes, I have a BiPap machine, too.

Fostair 200/6
I have been on Fostair 200/6 for about three months now, but find that I am continually coughing which I have never done with any other inhaler. Does anyone else have this problem?

Seretide 250
I use my Seretide inhaler twice a day and just carry a bricanyl inhaler as an emergency one while I am out. This works well for me and has done for the past 10+ yrs. I find the powder one which does not blast the medicine into the back of your throat is a big advantage. If I am ill and strugling with
