Chest feels rough, fatigue and feel nausea etc no phlegm though. This happens like 3 times a month i get better in between. Has anyone

New to this positive and helpful forum.,
Hello, I’ve just joined and am pleasantly surprised how kind, positive and helpful the posts are. I’ve COPD and since February 2020 have benefitted from an inhaler. Usually active and healthy but was worrying about a future with COPD. Reading such encouraging comments I feel more positive and optimistic

Ventolin restricted
I’ve had 13 vent
inhalers
since March 20 ( I know it’s a lot), however with frequent flare ups & attacks in the past 12 months they’ve been needed. Vent works and I see a difference but often in a position where needs to top it up again before the 4 hrs mark.

Life after COVID-19 Pneumonia
My family and I all contracted COVID in December, and as much as I tried to care for my Mum at home, come the critical “Day 10” her oxygen levels had dropped and she was hospitalised a week before Christmas. I will forever be grateful the hospital saved her life, and we got her home twelve days later

Sore upper chest
Hi. Wondering if anyone else has had anything similar. My upper chest feels really sore and has for about two weeks. I finished steroids last week as my pf dropped to 500 (usually 650). I have moved house and lots of dust as I’m am waiting for my flooring to be laid. My peak flow is now about 550.

I’m getting a bit breathless on Fostair MART
I’ve been on Fostair MART for nearly 2 months and gradually my cough has got less and my breathlessness went away. Yesterday and today I e felt a bit breathless and I took an extra puff on my inhaler, but it hasn’t really helped. Should I take the maximum 8 puffs again (I did this for two weeks when

I have mild COPD and mild asthma, controlled with a brown inhaler and blue one when I exercise/run. Have been trying to speak to my GP surgery to find out if I will be classed as vulnerable (so be in the next round of vaccinations) just can't get through to them, last time I called they said I wasn't

Newly diagnosed and struggling with symptoms
Since being diagnosed, I haven't yet found a treatment that works and have been prescribed 3 different preventer
inhalers
. In the last fortnight, I have felt like breathing is exhausting and like I can't take a deep enough breath and am yawning a lot trying to get air in.

Advice for a cortisol newbie please!
Hello gang, Hope you’re all keeping safe, well and sane! I was hoping to enlist your help with my recent cortisol results from Regenerus, particularly re: next steps as this is where my knowledge falls down. Hopefully the attached results are legible but I can always type out if needs be. My general

Still no clue what group - if any - I am. Can anyone help?
Spoken with GP who also doesn’t know. I am 47. Taking fostair 200/6 ( 4 puffs a day) , montelukast, dymista steroid spray, (plus a range of antihistamine, blue inhaler, course of pred as needed). I’ve basically stayed home alone since March last year to try and stay safe but wasn’t in shielding list

Hormones and asthma
I've had a few months of fluctuating asthma symptoms where it would be okay for a couple of weeks and then really bad (mainly with the cough). My preventer inhaler has been changed 3 times and I've been on montelukast for just over a month but it's made no difference and I couldn't identify anything

Eosinophil Asthma
At 17 my daughter had a number of chest infections and hospital admissions. Over a period of around a year she was diagnosed with eosinophil asthma and has had one of the highest feno counts the consultant has seen. She has been on steriods now for 2 years ( between 40mg and 20 mg) and every inhaler

Ventolin vs Symbicort
I understand the difference between the contents of the
inhalers
and when to use them. My question is about the reason for the different effect when using Symbicort as a reliever compared to ventolin.

Hi all
Just popping in to say hello and how is everyone. Really sorry not to have contributed for a while, but I do always recommend the forums to people needing support and advice. It’s just that I can’t keep up with all the different groups I’m on, though I see some of you on Facebook/beyond C25k and some

Help managing my asthma
It was only 18 months ago that I was diagnosed with asthma after developing bronchiectasis so I'm still on the journey of understanding how to manage it. Last October my consultant prescribed Ellipta Incruse in addition to the high dose Relvar. This worked really well I was able to exercise etc doing

Inhalers and GERD!
Do certain medications have a greater tendancy for gerd/ heart burn. I was previously on fostair but got sore tongue (fungal infection) I moved to relvar and its bad heartburn most of the time? Any thoughts?
