Trimbow inhaler.

spacer on prescription?
I just wondered if you have to pay for a spacer on prescription, or do you get it included with the inhaler if needed? Many thanks

Ccopd and high blood pressure
I was diagnosed in 2020 with mild emphysema and have just undergone my first copd review at my gp surgery.

Snap, crackle and pop
Hi guys, My first post - female, 34. I’m currently being assessed for potential allergy induced asthma - which is most definitely worse at night. It started with a heavy chest, slight dry cough, which included these very irritating crackles on inhalation whenever I lay down/ in a reclined position

Asthma and running
Hi all, Not sure if you can help, I struggle with my asthma when I run, my chest gets tight and I get wheezy, despite taking my inhaler and the symptoms continue after the run. When I do other exercise such as spinning class, swimming or a ‘bootcamp’ class my asthma does not bother me, any tips?

I hate waiting at the Doctor's office, I lost it!
I finally gave in and went to the doctor's office today. I hurt my elbow almost two weeks ago. I can't even lift a bottle of water. It is very painful. I called the clinic and they gave me an appointment at 2:00. I am a few minutes early. They send me down a hall I've never been to and say go in the

does is seem my son has asthma ?
hi I was told to trial my son on a blue inhaler as coughs all year. But I am not really getting much info on if he has asthma etc as it’s been 18 days and not getting much guidance with it all. He is 8 and 132cm tall … I’m not fully understanding what the graph is telling me and how bad it is etc

Ventolin running out too quickly
My son (14) was prescribed a ventolin inhaler a few months ago because he was getting asthma symptoms during hard exercise. 1-2 puffs works brilliantly when the inhaler is new but is stops being effective after a few weeks when it is still half-full (checked by weighing). We've tried very thorough

Hi all, so these are the things have noticed since starting SI 1mg Hydroxo every other day since seeing private consultant 23rd September: 1. energy has steadily increased, peaking so far 1 week ago (almost 'hyper' active/happy) - from 3/10 fatigue to 6/10 2. Similar levels with mental energy/capacity

Chest infection from spraying Flea Spray (or was it just bad luck, flu season or allergy?)
Has anyone sprayed anything similar like flea spray (Indorex) and may not have ventilated the house very well, leading to breathing issues? I developed a chest infection soon after spraying the house with flea spray but my partner and cat had no issues. I thought maybe it was the change in the weather
