Changing inhalers
Hi. I've been changed from flutiform to fostair due to side effects. I've only been on the fostair a few days but it feels like it's not doing a great deal. My chest & upper back hurt. I laugh, I cough. I feel like I've got more shortness of breath than usual. How long should it take to start working

Significant reduction in Ventolin inhaler use after Astra Zenica Covid vaccination.
I had my first Astra Zenica covid vaccination about a month ago so after a lifetime of Ventolin and/or Salbutamol inhaler use, I do not see how it can be a coincidence that my reliance on the aforementioned
inhalers
has gone from several times a day to maybe once a week or less.

My husband has recently been diagnosed with COPD but is suffering badly with cough and is struggling to breathe. Our doctor has given him a steroid inhaler, and will see him in surgery on Tuesday. Can they carry out s spirometry test, or is this not available during lockdown. He has been up most of

Shallow breathing for days
Hello all, I was diagnosed with asthma about a year ago right in the middle of lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. What a stressful time for a lung condition to develop! I've been okay since September/October but now, at almost exactly the same time as it originally came on, I'm experiencing quite

Brown inhaler side effects
Hi, i have been suffering from a burning tongue lately and wondered if it could be related to using brown inhaler? Admittedly i dont always rinse my mouth afterwards and i bought a spacer a month ago so think it could be connected. Appreciate any advice on this. Many thanks Jaid.

Almost a year and still no diagnosis, don't know what to do
Last year I started to have bouts of breathlessness which I've never had before (27m) this stemmed into coughing up sticky pale yellow strings or chunks, as gross as it sounds, since then I undertook a peak flow test, I took home a device, which was inconsistent, I was given both types of inhaler with

Do I need to restart prednisolone after a few episodes of breathlessness?
Hi all, hope you’re ok. After 6 courses (and stepping down) of prednisolone over the last 7 months, I finished my last ones 18 days ago. I found that I needed ventolin once a day for the first few days after, then was fine with breathing for the next 8 days without any ventolin, just still had a cough

Where can I get old inhalers from?
Hello, I need large numbers of used
inhalers
and pacers. I 'm planning to do an art installation linking children's health to air pollution. Do you have any advice as to where I can get them from? Do you have a stash you keep meaning to recycle?

Does anyone use a peak flow meter
I’m completely baffled. I had an Echocardiogram 2 weeks ago. Had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair 18 months ago. Last September getting more & more breathless and dizzy. Appointment with cardiologist cancelled in January. Collapsed in March. Hospital for 3 days - discharged with Heart Failure

Muscle fatigue
Long time since I’ve been on site..lots of life events to deal with not to mention the lockdown ...thankfully now had both jabs and returning to the world slowly and safely. Over the passed months I’ve been suffering from my muscles being extremely tired and at times painful. Just wanted to know if

Inhaler technique
Today, at a hospital lung function test, I was told that to do the ‘one breath and hold’ technique is better than tidal breathing, if I can, that is. I have never been told that before, so now I have to rethink. Also, I am worried that my fingers won’t have enough strength to do this. I also thought,

inhalers
properly,” says Dina Katabi, the Andrew and Erna Viteri Professor at MIT, whose research group has developed the new solution.

Diagnosed with suspected Asthma after having Covid
My daughter had just been given a Salbutamol for her newly diagnosed Asthma but then we both ended up on Steroid & reliever
inhalers
. It was so scary & still is. Due to Covid, nobody seems to know what damage has been done. I've had 2 chest xrays which came back normal.
