Change of prescription
My doctor is changing my prescription from Braltus to Anoro. Has anyone using this inhaler noticed an improvement in their breathing. I would welcome any advice. Thanks.

FeNo test
I had lung function tests yesterday as a result of which I was diagnosed with asthma and started on a Fostair 100/6 inhaler. I return in a week for monitoring. When I had a FeNo test 18 months ago I scored 36. Yesterday I got 192, 167 and 150. This seems very high and I wonder what it indicates. I

Does PMR cause breathlessness and cold hands and feet?
I am 80. UK based. Diagnosed after a 7 month battle in Oct 2022 and started on 15 mg Now on 9.5mg but started to get breathless. I take a preventive asthma inhaler for years but never suffered badly. Saw the GP on Monday and it seems all conditions are now put down to PMR, including cold hands

How long can a asthma episode last?
My daughter has had asthma symptoms for 14 days. Needing inhaler every 4 hours. She had 10 days of steroids and 10 days of antibiotics for a chest infection. As you can imagine she is shacking.

Considering whether the AFib is from asthma inhaler.
With PMR we have other comorbidities. As I tapered My pred from 8 to 7 3/4 I noticed increased palpitations …? Blame it on prednisone? Adrenal insufficiency ? My asthma inhaler? I decided to contact my pulmonary to, perhaps, change the inhaler, Breo, which has arrhythmia as an adverse effect. A person

Newly opened inhaler shakes
Hi all I’ve been on Symbicort 200/6 Turbohaler (plus other meds) for the last 18 months or so. I wonder if anyone else finds that they get the shakes for a couple of days when using a newly opened inhaler ? Once the inhaler has been opened and used for a 3 or 4 days this seems to stop. As soon

Absolute newbie!
I’m starting C25k (with my very reluctant husband!) and I’m a bit nervous! I have osteoarthritis in my knees and I’m mildly asthmatic (use Ventolin inhaler very occasionally!) I cannot imagine being able to run (I walk a lot) how difficult has it been for people-honestly??! 🫣😁

What would you say to her?
This friend I have (a very new friend) watched me have a asthma attack not a big one, not a problem because I take my inhaler everywhere, then she asked me what it’s like to have a asthma attack, I explained in a basic way because I was kind of embarrassed, but then she said something like, that sounds

new asthmatic needs help please
I ask because in my pre telephone interview I was also asked to download RB ( right breathe) app as there are so many
inhalers
to choose from. The pharmacist seemed uncertain what to advise and asked what I would like. My concern is I’m overwhelmed and have no idea what I need?

Hi, Just wondered whether anyone else is having a problem getting this inhaler? My pharmacy has tried 3 suppliers and can't get it. I'm just wondering whether it's worth ringing round bigger pharmacies?

Bruising from high dose steroid inhaler

Trelegy Ellipta
Diagnosed with late onset asthma recently. Prescribed Fostair 200/6 but suffered terrible cramps., especially at night and when exercising. I know this is associated with potassium levels and therefore increased intake of potassium high fruit and veg, but didn’t help. Consultant prescribed Montekulast

Trelegy inhaler
Good morning, I just have a question. Recently my preventer inhaler was changed to Trelegy. It has been much better for my breathing. However, i am suffering with my eyes at the moment and hope it isn’t a side effect which apparently it can be. Has anyone had the same problem if taking Trelegy? I have

3 years trouble breathing, still no diagnosis, always depressed
Long story short, ive had many chest x rays, pft's, 1 ct scan, blood tests, ive been to multiple lung doctors, 2 cardiologists, and 1 stomach doctor, been on many medications and
inhalers
like trellegy ellipta which does not work like it did before, none can diagnose me.
