Spacer for Qvar
Hi I am trying to find a spacer for Qvar inhaler ( with a round nozzle), Google suggested Aerochamber plus but it seems to have an oval nozzle. Anybody using it with a spacer? Thanks

Is anyone else on 2 puffs of duo resp twice a day?
I was diagnosed ŵith asthma about 18 years ago after a bout of wheezy bronchitis. I was left with a cough. I was given various treatment and am now on duo resp. steroid inhaler. I always feel like I’ve been misdiagnosed though, because whenever I need to see a doctor when I feel breathless, my peak

Low-dose steroids ‘bad for the heart’, study finds
“They also don’t tell us about steroid drugs being taken by other routes (such as
inhalers
) rather than swallowing them.

I don't know what my real voice is.
I read that steroid
inhalers
can damage vocal cords. My voice always changes. It depends on who I speak to, or if I'm nervous. If I'm speaking to a family member or close friend, it's usually fairly deep and consistent. Sometimes it does change with family though.

Beclometasone (powder)
Hi! My GP has asked if I'd be willing to switch to the powder form of beclometasone. I agreed, however when I inhale , I don't have the sensation that the powder is coming out of the inhaler at all! Is this normal? (I have clicked to release the powder before inhaling). Thanks 😊

Breathing problems
My peak flow is still 500-600 so I’m not sure i agree with my doctors when they keep telling me it’s asthma and upping my
inhalers
(that are doing nothing). I’ve been diagnosed officially after literally just over 6 years and have started Levothyroxine two days ago!

2 runs
I have two runs to catch you up on, neither very interesting. The problem I'm having all the time now is asthma. It wasn't an issue all summer, but now it is a real pain. My legs feel good, my heart feels good, but my breathing is a struggle from start to finish, even slow jogging. I have recently

Mobility scooter or not
Since my heart attack my balance has got worse and I now use
inhalers
. I struggle with swimming now and I am permanently exhausted. My daughters think using the scooter will make me worse. I only want to use it for walks by the river and at the coast.

Why aren't my meds working?
I increased my
inhalers
to 3 x 2 puffs now and still need my reliever several times a day and even that hasn't got much effect. Are my meds too weak? Could my breathlessness be stress related and only in my head? What is going on?

1st ever Asthma attack and diagnosis
Is this my new life now-
inhalers
and being scared? What scares me more is my job, I work in car parks which isnt the best environment I guess. Any advice for me would be most welcome!

I developed a wheeze/whistle at night at beginning of lockdown and was diagnosed by telephone with asthma (at age 56) and given
inhalers
. (Have not yet had lung function test due to Covid) so still not really confirmed.

Any advice on how to tackle W5R3 when you are asthmatic?
I’ve managed to complete Week 4! Yay! It’s taken me 6 months to get this far! 🤣 I had never run before in my life, and my calf running muscles were so weak I kept straining them initially, until a physio told me I had to take the programme really slowly and have more than one rest day to recover and
