Inhalers- and value for money?
Some years ago I was advised , that in order to check the contents of my inhaler I should remove the pressurised phial from the applicator and suspend the phial in a tall glass of water. If it sinks ,the indications are there is medicine present and if it floats there is probably little or no medicine

Asthma & Beta blockers
Good morning I only seem to post with questions. But you wonderful lot are so knowledgeable and this is still so new to me. ❤️ My son has aortic root dilation & HCM. Yesterday GP confirmed he has mild asthma. Prescribed inhaler 4x a day. So we were waiting for this so my son's cardiologist could

Lungwort Complex
Does anyone here have experience of taking Lungwort Complex? I started taking it three weeks ago as i felt i had nothing to lose after months of being so unwell. I have literally gone from barely being able to get from room to room because of severe breathlessness, and friends and family thinking

Lung symptoms vs eye and nose symptoms
To those who are on "systemic" drugs for allergic asthma, what do you notice in terms of control of your lung symptoms vs control of allergic symptoms in the eyes and the nose? Do the systemic drugs resolve the lungs, nose, and eye symptoms altogether, or do the drugs only work for some, but not for

Feeling annoyed
I also take
inhalers
and montelukast. Tsh 0.02 T4 18 T3 5.3 My gp has seen these and says I am slightly over medicated tho as I was seeing endo it would be sorted. Endo wasn't too worried about Tsh being so low at mo. Gp has now stopped my 25 mcg of Levo.

Newly diagnosed GPA without renal involvement. Sorry it’s long.
In March I went to a new rheumatologist at a world famous teaching hospital. He is co-director of the vasculitis program and quite expert. It took persistence to get an appointment. My previous rheumatologist diagnosed me with Polymyalgia Rheumatica in 2016. She ordered an ANCA blood test in 2017 because

Trial of Montelukast
I am currently on Fostair inhaler for adult asthma that has laid dormant for years since childhood. I have suffering terribly for a long time with constant phlegm , having to clear my throat, coughing and affecting my sleep in as much as choking. It’s embarrassing at work and also home life. Thought

Trimbow 87/5/9
Hi, I was recently prescribed the trimbow 87/5/9 inhaler and I have to take two puffs of the trimbow inhaler twice daily but when I was prescribed the trimbow, my gp pharmacist didn't tell me wether I had to stop my spiriva respimat inhaler or wether I had to carry on taking it along with the trimbow

How many inhalers?
Another question from me...It's been suggested to me that I could add a Flixotide 250 to my medications, which is currently Symbicort 200 (MART but I still use a lot of Salamol during flare-ups) and Montelukast. To me, this seems weird (and would that be a High Steroid Dose?) so I'm wondering if anyone

Fostair inhaler
Had my asthma review at my GP surgery today and apparently my asthma is poorly controlled which I knew anyway so she wants to consider changing my steroid inhaler to Fostair. I'm already on Flutiform 250/10 as well as Spiriva which I know isn't a steroid. What's the difference between the two and is

CLL in treatment and possible long Covid and managing isolation
My 74 year old husband has CLL and is on treatment consisting of Obinutuzumab infusions (just completed) and Venetoclax. He got Covid for the second time in January 2023, took Paxlovid, and it resolved without too much complication. He then had the "Paxlovid rebound." He recovered from that pretty well

pure emphysema and inhalers
I get very sob and my nails often get a blue tinge when I exert myself I have stopped using
inhalers
as they do not deem to help in any way and tend to cause more mucus production, and give me more problems than benefits. am I unwise to refuse medication?

Is my spacer working?
I have been using a vu plus spacer with my
inhalers
and previously it always made that honking noise when I inhaled too hard. However, yesterday it stopped doing that.

When to take emergency pack?
Started with a very sore throat, bad head 12 days ago. Soon turned into a streaming cold. Negative Covid test. For the past 5 days my breathing has been poor, chesty cough, wheezing etc. I've been taking extra blue inhaler and upped my steroid inhaler. Feel awful, lightheaded and breathless. Last night

Post Covid Queries!
I tested positive for Covid 2 weeks ago… it’s caused an asthma flare but luckily I got prescribed steroids for a week which, along with my Fostair and Ventolin
inhalers
, kept things stable enough for me to stay home.
