Emphysema
I use ventolin, fostair 200/6 and spiriva respimat
inhalers
. I am prescribed 2 ventolin, 2 fostair and 1 spiriva per month. I have sent a cd to the tribunal from the hospital that contains xray and ct scan images. Any idea why the dwp would do this ?

Questions about Spiriva and referral
Hi, I’ve just taken my first dose of Spiriva and am always a bit edgy when taking new things 😅. I realised after taking it, that the instructions didn’t say anything about shaking it before use, is that because it’s a different kind of inhaler to Fostair which is my other inhaler? Also it didn’t

Blood blisters in mouth from inhaler
Hi everyone! Having a very bizarre side effect of what I think is being caused by my steroid inhaler! Has anyone experienced blood blisters in their mouth? I just have a very small one on the roof of my mouth.... 😬!!

36 year old with Asthma/COPD
Was diagnosed with Asthma/COPD Overlap (ACOS) in 2019. I am only 36 and it took over 3 years to get a diagnosis, cause the consultants couldn't believe, at my age I had COPD. I am using a Trimbow inhaler (3 therapy inhaler LAMA/LABA/Steroid). I also have rescue inhaler. Only 3 years of having ACOS

ms diagnosis but now looks like it might be egpa
Since June i have had multiple steroid courses for asthma and many hospitalisations with little positive effect from use of
inhalers
. I had a broncoscopy in December with the discharge letter saying impression- egpa would best fit clico-radiologically. Heard nothing since because of covid!!!

I feel lost
Hello, I am new to this forum but I really needed to talk to someone. So, I have stage 4 emphysema. My drs haven't told me anything about the condition. I have either learnt about it from living with it or looked up on the Internet. I have had a test on a machine and that's when the nurse said that I

Latest of vaccination saga..
Asthma nurse rang yesterday querying if I should of been called in group 6, rather than group 9 which I'm currently in. Apparently the query has been sent to the GP (not my request, was hers). Apparently some concerns around my fostair inhaler. Anyways I guess continue to wait and see. On a good note

Asthma Sore Throat
Hi, was just wondering if anyone has ever experienced a Sore Throat with Fostair Inhaler. Have been using it for Years with a Spacer and a couple of Weeks ago stopped using the Spacer as it needed a clean, since then have had a bit of an on and off sore throat. It’s not like a normal sore throat though

Back to the drawing board
I have been struggling a lot this year and most of last year getting back to fitness after my horrible virus ( possibly THE virus ) oct 2019/ end of jan 2020. Last March I re-did C25k and got to where I could run for 30 minutes comfortably again, then I worked my way up to 10k again gently and just

Arythmia/irregular heartbeat and peak flow
Has anyone had arythmia? I think mine is being brought on by the fostair. Also a symptom of arythmia (irregular heartbeat) can be breathless and fatigue. Would your peak flow still drop if your breathlessness was a heart issue and not an asthma issue. I’ve been saying my asthma has changed this last
