Eosinophilic Asthma and Benralizumab
Fostair
inhalers
didn't help and the thing that worked was steroids. But the inflammation returned 6-8 weeks later after I had finished the course of steroids.

SYMBICORT 'CLICK' QUESTION
Dear enquirer, Twist the inhaler once clockwise to hear the 'click' and release one dose of Symbicort. You have to twist the inhaler back to the starting point to prepare another dose... then twist clockwise again to hear a second 'click' and release the second dose etc. I hope this helps you.

Do you think it would be possible to switch from a normal ventolin inhaler to an Easi-Breathe by IVAX?
Hi all, I play a lot of sport and struggle with my asthma whilst doing so. I am currently on a brown inhaler also. When i’m breathless I struggle with the mechanics of timing the normal spray ventolin. Do u recon they’d allow me to try the one which it’s pressured release ie the ivax easi-breathe?

Skin reactions to fostair
started fostair just under 2 years ago . Wasn’t happy with it from the start . Asthma seemed worse . Couldn’t sleep . I suffer from severe eczema . This has been appalling since going on fostair . It’s so bad that I’ve reached the point where I need prednisone for my eczema . Obviously my asthma is much

Mask Wearing
Hi everyone , I work as s carer in a sheltered housing scheme looking after vunerable adults . My asthma has been well controlled for a few years but for the last 2months it has become very uncontrolled which I believe begun with the wearing of masks in my job , I wear a mask for the whole 6hr shift

Changing inhalers
Hi. I've been changed from flutiform to fostair due to side effects. I've only been on the fostair a few days but it feels like it's not doing a great deal. My chest & upper back hurt. I laugh, I cough. I feel like I've got more shortness of breath than usual. How long should it take to start working

Monteleukast and uncontrolled asthma
I am a 22 year old young adult. My asthma has deteriorated since last month, so my doctor advised I used monteleukast. For those with severe asthma, did it ever improve your symptoms. Because I now use my reliever inhaler up to 5 times a day and this scares me a lot

Fostair making heart rate increase
are there any other steroid
inhalers
similar to this but without the side affects of being jittery and bad heart rate? Or does this settle down after a few days :/ any help appreciated, was excited to take a step forward to controlling my exercise induced asthma but these things happen!

Understanding "usual" reaction to Blue Inhaler and Prednisolone
Hello all, Thanks very much to those who responded to my post last week about my recent worsening symptoms. I've gone to the doctor and agreed on an upped dose and some steroids short tem. I want to understand something from the community that I have not been able to understand from my asthma nurse.

Newly diagnosed with exercise induced asthma.
Started C25K last summer and completed it. I was sooo chuffed! I found it hard but I didn’t give up. Winter came, the cold air and wind was hard to contend with and I found it hard going again. I persevered and got to a stage of managing 5K every other day. Spring sprung and that did me in! Pollen!

Significant reduction in Ventolin inhaler use after Astra Zenica Covid vaccination.
I had my first Astra Zenica covid vaccination about a month ago so after a lifetime of Ventolin and/or Salbutamol inhaler use, I do not see how it can be a coincidence that my reliance on the aforementioned
inhalers
has gone from several times a day to maybe once a week or less.

Breathing worries
My husband has recently been diagnosed with COPD but is suffering badly with cough and is struggling to breathe. Our doctor has given him a steroid inhaler, and will see him in surgery on Tuesday. Can they carry out s spirometry test, or is this not available during lockdown. He has been up most of

Shallow breathing for days
Hello all, I was diagnosed with asthma about a year ago right in the middle of lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. What a stressful time for a lung condition to develop! I've been okay since September/October but now, at almost exactly the same time as it originally came on, I'm experiencing quite

Brown inhaler side effects
Hi, i have been suffering from a burning tongue lately and wondered if it could be related to using brown inhaler? Admittedly i dont always rinse my mouth afterwards and i bought a spacer a month ago so think it could be connected. Appreciate any advice on this. Many thanks Jaid.
