Ocular Pressure
Has anyone suffered with high ocular pressure after using Steroid
inhalers
? I have been and my optician says I should try not to take any inhaled steroids!! But my asthma doctor says my asthma cannot be controlled any other way!! Has anyone had a similar experience?

LUPUS AND ILD
I am not on any
inhalers
either. I have done test for TB and it came back negative. CT scan shows that the ILD is stable. Just don't know what to do. I have tried all the over counter cough syrups in the pharmacy and some from the herbal shop.

Recording PF with inhalers?
Hi All, I've been recording my PF as was advised and to note if its increased after use my inhaler, before I did this with my blue inhaler ventolin, but now I have an ICS - Easyhaler budesonide, do I use this and record PF instead of my blue inhaler now or?

Might not be asthma
I’ve had new
inhalers
recently but resorted to ones I’ve been taking for some time. In December I became unwell. My go gave me prednisone for a week. That did nothing. He diagnosed a virus (not covid). Still struggling with breathing over 3 months later.

Is it COPD or just a symptom of hypothyroidism.
Hi all, Was diagnosed with a spirometry test in February 2019,with COPD and given inhaler to take but despite being told I would get flare ups, this hasn't happened and I wonder if I've been misdiagnosed. I've read that coughing up phlegm on a regular basis is a symptom of hypothyroidism and they haven't

I have severe bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, lung fibrosis with honeycombing in upper lobes. Despite 3 x 1 hour drainage sessions, I have trouble when going to bed at night. Grunting and clearing for ages. I was kept awake for 3 hours one night before I slept. I have an Atrovent inhaler. My bed

From clenil modulite to Fostair
Hi everyone I hope you are all well. I have just been given my asthma plan. I have also had my clenil modulite changed to Fostair. Just wanted to ask what your experiences have been with Fostair? Is it a ‘stronger’ inhaler than clenil and any advice of what you have experienced would be much appreciated

SYMBICORT 'CLICK' QUESTION
Dear enquirer, Twist the inhaler once clockwise to hear the 'click' and release one dose of Symbicort. You have to twist the inhaler back to the starting point to prepare another dose... then twist clockwise again to hear a second 'click' and release the second dose etc. I hope this helps you.

Do you think it would be possible to switch from a normal ventolin inhaler to an Easi-Breathe by IVAX?
Hi all, I play a lot of sport and struggle with my asthma whilst doing so. I am currently on a brown inhaler also. When i’m breathless I struggle with the mechanics of timing the normal spray ventolin. Do u recon they’d allow me to try the one which it’s pressured release ie the ivax easi-breathe?

Skin reactions to fostair
started fostair just under 2 years ago . Wasn’t happy with it from the start . Asthma seemed worse . Couldn’t sleep . I suffer from severe eczema . This has been appalling since going on fostair . It’s so bad that I’ve reached the point where I need prednisone for my eczema . Obviously my asthma is much

Mask Wearing
Hi everyone , I work as s carer in a sheltered housing scheme looking after vunerable adults . My asthma has been well controlled for a few years but for the last 2months it has become very uncontrolled which I believe begun with the wearing of masks in my job , I wear a mask for the whole 6hr shift

Eosinophilic Asthma and Benralizumab
Fostair
inhalers
didn't help and the thing that worked was steroids. But the inflammation returned 6-8 weeks later after I had finished the course of steroids.

Monteleukast and uncontrolled asthma
I am a 22 year old young adult. My asthma has deteriorated since last month, so my doctor advised I used monteleukast. For those with severe asthma, did it ever improve your symptoms. Because I now use my reliever inhaler up to 5 times a day and this scares me a lot

Understanding "usual" reaction to Blue Inhaler and Prednisolone
Hello all, Thanks very much to those who responded to my post last week about my recent worsening symptoms. I've gone to the doctor and agreed on an upped dose and some steroids short tem. I want to understand something from the community that I have not been able to understand from my asthma nurse.

Newly diagnosed with exercise induced asthma.
Started C25K last summer and completed it. I was sooo chuffed! I found it hard but I didn’t give up. Winter came, the cold air and wind was hard to contend with and I found it hard going again. I persevered and got to a stage of managing 5K every other day. Spring sprung and that did me in! Pollen!
