Advice please re priority/vulnerable vaccine groups
I'm 54, live in Scotland and in late 2018 had a spiro test after collapsing at work, I was diagnosed as severe Stage 4 COPD. A few weeks later I was having frequent chest pains and referred to a cardiologist. From Oct 2018 to Oct 2020 I've had 15-20 ambulance admissions to A&E with chest pains and I

Cough. Ongoing.
My
Inhalers
help with breathlessness and wheezing which is good. Spirometry and peak flow was used to diagnose my asthma-started 4 months ago. Not looking for answers really, just getting things off my chest, or rather not! Awful joke sorry. Anyone got anything similar with their cough?

Order of inhaler use
Hi everyone, I have been prescribed Fostair 200 twice per day and Spiriva once per day . Which do I use first and which time of day.? I am confused by the advice. I also have a Ventolin inhaler but my doctor did not say to use this as well. Many thanks, Judy

Worried for the future of Asthmatics
I'm very concerned about a policy shift within my medical practice which I'm told is actually government driven. I'm asthmatic and have been since childhood, it's no big deal, I manage it pretty well but during the course of my day I invariable need to use my Ventolin inhaler. There's triggers I try

Inhaler shortage.
I have been using Bricanyl as my reliever inhaler for over four years now. For the first time, yesterday it was missing from my repeat prescription and have to wait for a text message when it arrives at the pharmacy. Understandable I suppose, it is made by AstraZeneca. There are a few puffs left in the

Has anyone been signed off work by their GP with anxiety?
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has been signed off with anxiety? I'm really struggling to be honest! Work hasn't been great the past year or two, on top of covid and all the anxieties and stess that has brought with working in a nursery on top of having underlying health conditions... to top it all

Asthma exacerbation
I went for a run in the very cold weather on Tuesday and forgot to wear a buff to cover my mouth. When I got back my windpipe felt sore and I had to take my inhaler. I’m still feeling a bit wheezy a few days later. Anyone had this experience that lasted this long? I’m on Fostair and have started add

Another day another Diagnosis!
I’ve now been given
inhalers
to try and help. Anyone else with ACOS? What was your outcome? After a few months of treatment I’ve been told it might clear up, might just be Asthma or may be COPD. So again it’s another waiting day 🤦♂️

Asthma worsening
Hi, I’m on week 3 and I’ve noticed my asthma has got significantly worse, I’m now taking steroids and my blue inhaler on a regular basis. Before I started I rarely used my blue inhaler (once a week, now most days) anyone else notice this? Does it settle down or is something else going on?
