Trimbow with emphysema, bronchiectasis and aspergillus causing problems
Last summer my
inhalers
we’re changed from spiriva and seretide to Trimbow. After an initial period of improvement my breathing got worse but not enough to ring alarm bells.

PeakFlow Readings
My peak flow readings never seem to change and I’m a little confused. My last one recorded at my GP surgery was 290, My dr wanted me to monitor my peak flow readings. There currently between 350-250. I currently have a Salbutamol inhaler a Fostair Inhaler and Montelukast daily. I’m not noticing much

Hashimoto's, levothyroxine intolerance. Help please anyone?
I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in February 2021, following a routine blood test, and put on 25mcg levothyroxine and was fine. In June 2021 my dose was increased to 50mcg. Again, I thought I was fine, although in hindsight, I think I may have been having side effects, but due to working etc missed

Inhaler shakes from Salamol?
Hi, I don't post much but this one has got me thinking. Has anyone changed from a Ventolin Inhaler to a Salamol inhaler and found they've got the shakes from it? My GP recently changed me from Ventolin to Salamol stating that it was better for the environment, fewer greenhouse gases yada yada but I

Are there any alternatives to inhalers?
I am trying to find alternatives as the
inhalers
are not helpful anymore. I know Api-therapy uses bees products, and I am aware these can trigger asthmatics, but the results look promising. I've done the research, and after reading some case studies, I am interested in knowing more.

What is the relationship between COPD and anaemia?
I hope I will stop posting so frequently once I have a formal diagnosis. However, currently, whilst I wait for tests, I have found myself wondering about all sorts of things. First of all, I have anaemia which I had assumed was the result of my restrictive diet. However, I take an iron pill daily and

Icy feeling in chest
Hi Everyone, I previously posted here when I was first given
inhalers
in 2020 to manage after-effects of COVID/pneumonia. I was on Flutiform 250mg x2 twice a day. They seemed to help a lot and eventually I stopped taking them just before Christmas.

Pulmonary Fibrosis/Pulmonary Hypertension how long?
I know that we have very different experiences with our ILD. I had a look on an American PH news site and see that they have been testing an oral spray which has given quite favourable results for PF sufferers. Wonder how long it will take for UK to get it! Here is an extract from the article. It would

How Long is the Waiting List for Spirometry?
Hello, My GP has confirmed that I have been referred for spirometry. I also have been prescribed an inhaler. Does anyone know very roughly how long the waiting list is for a spirometry test e.g. weeks, months or years? Also, I have anaemia. I have probably been anaemic for a long time, and this is

Newbie with myocarditis
And my breathing is awful - feels like a constant asthma attack but my
inhalers
don’t do anything. I haven’t had any advice on what to do - I asked about exercise and he said I can but when I googled it said not to.

Asthma related coughing fits through the night
Hi all, my son who's 2.5 years old was diagnosed with asthma in January of this year. This is after many chest infections and having severe coughing fits whenever he gets any sort of cold or runny nose etc We are still getting our head around it all and very much on a learning curve. He saw a specialist

What are your thoughts on breathing techniques vs medication?
Hi Everyone, I am sufferer of asthma, and it has been brought to my attention as to whether the effectiveness of specific breathing techniques vs medication could assist in increasing lung capacity. Breathing techniques: Some sources suggest that breathing exercises can help alleviate asthma symptoms

Toddler breathing issues during sleep
Our 3yo daughter has recently developed asthma like symptoms, post covid. We have been prescribed with an inhaler, which we have used sporadically when she has needed it. Her breathing seems most erratic when she is asleep, we try to watch for all of the signs that she may be struggling for breath,

My Bronchiectasis.
Had a chat with my Consultant on this Bronchiectasis, I don,t bring up much phlegm so he thought that was good, it meant it is not too bad. He said increase my Asthma inhaler from 100/6 to 200/6. Try to be active, up to a point, in other words do not go overboard. Keep on with Incruse Ellipta, although
