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

Advice re pulmonary fibrosis
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding medication,
inhalers
etc. that might ease things. All the medics have said is that it’s incurable and will only get worse which is no help at all.

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
I have been taking fostair net 200/6 2 puffs twice a day for over 4 years. Lately in the last year I bruise more easily than I did before. I rang asthma UK helpline this afternoon and if my inhaler is the cause. The nurse said it could be the reason. She did also ask about my asthma and how many

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

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?

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.

Asthma Flare-up
My asthma has been flaring up over the last week with the usual symptoms of coughing, feeling tight-chested and breathless, so I started my rescue pack of steroids. I saw the nurse at my GP practice on Wednesday, who was less than helpful, she basically told me that because my chest was clear, they wouldn't

Flixotide causing anxiety?
I’ ve recently been posting on the thyroid forum. I ve had recent symptoms of an exaggerated response to normal stress, which has made me very ill. I have ME and basically this was very bad along with a racing heart. Over the last 18 months I’ve had circadian rhythm problems along with high blood pressure
