This is a verrrry long post!! If anyone actually reads to the end you have my full respect I’m a returning member to the forum. I used to be active when I was being treated for severe asthma. I used to routinely end up in hospital for basic chest infections, and struggled with chest aching and tightness

I am taking a long haul plane journey soon and wondered if anyone has had a positive experience with portable nebulisers and what to be look out for when using one.

One of the things most interesting about using this site is the variety of different experiences people have with the same problem, in my case bronchiectasis. I have been diagnosed for 12 years and see my consultant regularly. She is a bit unforthcoming and big on science. In that time I have had one

Hi everyone. I realised a couple of weeks ago that my asthma was getting worse again (I have severe uncontrolled asthma) and so I spoke to my GP who recommended that I up my Flutiform to 3 or 4 times a day as well as using my consultant approved home nebuliser which seemed to help but then last week

I had the misfortune to have to attend A&E with an asthma attack. I feel very let down and wonder why I bothered. I had just visited a relative in hospital when it happened. I gave myself 10 puffs of ventolin in a spacer and when no improvement set off walking very slowly, the relatively short distance

I have bronchiectasis (from childhood) and asthma, colonised with pseudomonas. Usually, I'm quite able to do chest clearance every day to get rid of the sputum lurking in my lungs. However, over the last week, my chest has become very 'dry', and I have a hoarse voice! Not feeling great, any ideas

I'm new here and was wondering if this constant cough, in spite of the nebulizer and asthma meds,is common after COVID?

Hi - looking for some advice/help please? I’ve had a letter today from one of my consultants saying that he wants to wean me off all my medication because tests are all inconclusive!!! I’m not straightforward and last spirometry was best ever, but at the time I was on 40mg pred, antibiotic nebs for

fellow Broncs - how many of you suffer from excess nasal/sinus mucous alongside the stuff clogging up the lungs ? I have been on steroid nasal sprays for years due to allergic rhinitis but since the diagnosis of bronch in May 2021( after 40 yrs of asthma) my post nasal clogging and sinus headaches are

I have another nebulizer for use at home which is very good but much to big and heavy to take to work.

Hi all, It's come up a couple of times recently that people have had less than ideal experiences with emergency care for asthma.
