Pink vs Blue inhaler
So at my last asthma check couple weeks ago i was advised that new research showed the blue inhaler to cause lung damage in the long term and that i should use my pink fostair as a reliever. I had been told that before so as I was needing to use the blue inhaler as i had that chest infection going round

Pretty stressed
Hi lovely people. I have HF and a CRT-d. Been ok for a while but had to have a chest X-ray recently for another issue. It’s come back showing a trace of copd/bronchitis damage? The doc said if I start having symptoms they’ll give me an inhaler. One doctor said don’t worry about it but another asked

Newly diagnosed with asthma
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with asthma around start of October 2023. I was wondering how long it took other members to control their asthma? Mine is not controlled. On salamol reliever (100mg) which helps a bit. Was taking steroid inhaler Beclometasome (200mg) but this did nothing. I am now

Hi happy New Year to you all. I was diagnosed with severe COPD 6 years ago age 61 , I never really had any symptoms at that time or for 4 years after that. However 2 years ago I moved from a London suburb to the east of England and my symptoms have materialised very quickly. It can be quite frightening

slightly anxious and just looking for moral support
Hoping you all had a good Christmas. Mine has been a bit rough as the whole family has been unwell including me with this cold/throat bug that is going around. It didn’t go to my chest this year, thankfully and I was recovering okay when I noticed my throat and ears started hurting again and my mouth

I still feel airway clearance has the biggest impact on how my chest feels, but it’s the constant fatigue that has me buggered & I don’t think the
inhalers
help that at all. Still trying to get my hear around the whole lama / laba / steroid differences.

Post covid asthma diagnoses
Hi there, I’d really like to hear from anyone who has been diagnosed with asthma after getting covid, or anyone with any thoughts! I got covid in feb 22 and since then have had several episodes of severe chest infections which always require antibiotics and steroids. I’ve check my inhaler technique

Outdoor symptoms: daily patterns in ozone
My defenses are Xolair, steroid
inhalers
, the rescue inhaler, rescue steroids, an FFP2 mask (if particulates are the problem), a full respirator (when ozone or smells are a problem), staying indoors, exercising indoors, and my "safe space" in the filtered-air tent (HEPA+activated charcoal).

Steroid-based inhaler warning
**Moderator note to anyone reading: if you have similar concerns please speak to a medical professional - don't stop your steroid inhaler or any other steroids if you're worried about adrenal insufficiency. It's dangerous for both adrenals and asthma.**

Fostair 100/6
Hi there, I’ve (24M) been on fostair as a preventer inhaler since around the age of 17/18. My asthma has been extremely well controlled on 2 puffs BD for a number of years. However a few weeks ago I have quite a bad flare up which landed me in A&E twice and had a 2 week course of prednisolone. Since

Baseline figure from lung function test
After 10 days post hospital admission with pneumonia I went to have a lung function test at my local hospital. The result of the test was 438 a new baseline. My usual top peak flow is 500 (very unused as it doesn't match my height, sex and ethnicity) I should be blowing 420. One explanation was that

IMPROVEMENT!
After nearly two years of waiting, I finally got to see a consultant! He gave me various tests and blood tests and came to the conclusion that it's not my bronchiectasis that's the problem, it's my asthma. I'm now taking a Seretide 250 inhaler and feeling a whole lot better. Although still not brilliant
