First time posting on here.
So the past couple of weeks I thought my asthma was playing up. Breathing getting difficult etc. Then I have realised it's not my asthma but seems to be some form of acid reflux. I do suffer from heartburn odd pain in chest and that. So...... Last week I was placed on prednisolone again 40mg for 5 days

Sodium cromoglycate
I have just received a letter from my consultant saying they are going to ask my GP to start me on sodium cromoglycate inhaler and uniphyllin. I am currently in bricanyl syringe driver due to being taken off uniphyllin 18 months ago as my stomach no longer digests and I vomit tablets up. This consultant

Has anyone been switched from QVAR to Kelhale?
Hi, I've been on QVAR100 for a few years now and it's one that has really worked well for me. I recently had an asthma review where the nurse said I was doing well and to keep going as I was. Today I received a letter saying they are switching my inhaler to the cheaper brand but am I within my rights

Worsening asthma during peri menopause/menopause?
Has anyone’s asthma gotten worse during their peri menopause. I have had asthma since my mid 30’s and had very little problem managing it up until recently. I don’t have any coughing or wheezing, just a tightness under my chest and then shortness of breath. It gets a little better when I stand up.

Does anyone have a 2 year old with viral wheeze/asmtha?
Millie has been suffering with viral wheeze episodes from the age of around 1 year, she was prescribed the blue inhaler for these attacks and ended up in hospital 3 times with it and has also had a chest and throat infection on separate occasions. From 18 months (Jan 2020) she was given the brown preventer

Has anyone with Lupus had Covid?
I was just wondering how unwell people were if they contracted Covid. I’ve had a few scares as I have asthma and when it gets bad and I contact the Dr they imply I have Covid. But all I really need is a stronger inhaler which has been really difficult with all the side effects.

Medisafe app
Hi, earlier this year I was prescribed a lot of meds and was worried about forgetting to take them at the right time of the day. I then found a great phone app - Medisafe. It's easy to use and reminds me when it's time to use my inhaler or take meds or when my meds are running low. Makes life so much

Update on John
Good Morning everyone hope you are as well as can be. John had his long awaited consultant meeting yesterday with results of his PET scan. She stated that his lungs haven’t deteriorated further which is good news. They suggested that his SOB could be down to his hiatus hernia and are making him an

Alvesco 160 alternative
Has anyone ever had to use an alternative to Alvesco 160?, Is there a suitable alternative?. I have had to call 6 different pharmacies today to try to obtain my Alvesco 160 . All have advised it is not in stock and it is coming up manufacturer problems. They are unable to obtain it. I managed to locate

Doctor said its Covid
I am not sure this is the right place to post but I am worried and frightened. I have an anxiety disorder and I’m 35 years old. I also have sinus tachycardia. I started 10 days ago with Covid symptoms after daughter and husband tested positive. I am now on an inhaler as I keep getting shortness of breath

Just learning ..
Hi another question from me as I’m new to this, hope everyone is well. I’m not seeing the GP til the 26th so just thought I’d ask some more advice. My Gp has given me a peak flow meter, prednisolone for 7 days and a ventolin inhaler. I predominately spoke about shortness of breath in the first appointment

Hi I'm new here
Prescribed tiotropum and Ventolin
inhalers
and was told I had approximately 8 yrs left if I carried on smoking. I gave up smoking 6yrs later when I was diagnosed with PAD. I figured that I had pushed my luck after 50 yrs of smoking. Struggling with breathing during February this year.

When I ran on Tuesday it was 13 degrees and I ran in a short sleeve top and capris - today it was leggings and a long sleeve top and when I got home Garmin told me it
