Unsure what it is as not a chest infection or covid-19.
I ended up at A&E all last night with my asthma. The ambulance had to give me a nebuliser because I had a bilateral wheeze on both sides.The hospital did bloods and chest x ray and said that my chest is clear, no sign of infection and that it is musco-skeletal but yet I was still breathless. Now I'm

Odors and stress as triggers in poorly managed asthma
When my asthma is poorly controlled, I get airway constriction within seconds from odors (fragrance, cooking etc) which goes away with a rescue inhaler (if the odor source is removed). I understand that the odorous chemical itself is not an "allergenic" substance. Is the pathway of the constriction

Slowly but surely.
Was just getting used to impared breathing due to the hot weather. When my on the phone review came up. So now, just finished four days steroids. 6 tablets every morning. Didn't have any real effect for two days and then felt a lot better but now struggling again. I suppose it's all those chores I had

Lost inhaler
Hope all are well. Just back from a 4 day break away, just what we needed! Anyway I have somehow lost or misplaced (or put somewhere safe) my Fostair inhaler. I donât have a spare, but have spare ventolin. I last took it yesterday morning (sat) so have currently missed (almost) 3 doses. I take Fostair

I have been prescribed various corticosteroid

Cleaning spacer
Hi as you see in pic when the flashlight is shining at. Is that residue from inhaler or suds from cleaning the spacer and them drying into the tube after leaving it to air dry or was that already there before I used it. How do I remove it.

Positive ANA speckled test - MCAS
I was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome earlier this year but the treatment hasnât helped much. I have weekly bladder instillations and have been on antibiotics since Feb. I had a cystoscopy which showed biofilm in the bladder. I also have gastro issues and sensitivity to food - MCAS diet

O2 saturation and heart rate
May I ask if anyone takes measurements of O2 saturation during asthma attacks? Do you see numbers drop significantly during attacks? I know my asthma is bad when I cannot talk in sentences and must lie down to let it pass. While lying down, the heart rate is at 130 and stays until rescue inhaler kicks

Asthma spacer
Hi I clean my spacer every 5 to 7 days and use soapy water with anti static cloth for cleaning inside tube only when washing it to remove residue from inhaler as without cloth just washing it in soapy water doesnât reduce residue or medicine stick in tube but I use a fostair inhaler with a aerochamber

Thank you
I would like to say thank you to everyone who gave me advice when I was feeling very low and thought my asthma would never become controllable again . Well after listening to you all and Persevering with my Symbicort inhaler, I am pleased to say I feel so much better I have even started swimming again-slowly

I have switched from Qvar to Fostair. Do I have to experience side effects even though I have used other inhalers in the past?
