Husband's COPD getting much worse - needs help
I apologise in advance for the length of this post but I am desperate and lost. Any advice is welcome. My husband has severe COPD and I am really concerned about him. He is 52 and was diagnosed several years ago. He still smokes around one cigarette’s worth of tobacco a day but is increasingly struggling

Crackling popping lungs when breathing
Hi, after a little advice or similar experience.... 5 weeks ago I developed a really tight chest and non productive cough out of nowhere, no illness. Stole my husbands fostair inhaler 3 days in as really struggling and couldn’t see go, got through it but it was horrendous, really uncomfortable and could

Might not be asthma
Hi, new here. I’m seeking some ideas here. I’ve been treated for asthma for over 20 years. I’ve had new inhalers recently but resorted to ones I’ve been taking for some time. In December I became unwell. My go gave me prednisone for a week. That did nothing. He diagnosed a virus (not covid). Still struggling

Bronchial Spasm
Last night was a bit of a scare for us. John started not being able to breath. (He has MSA-C). He had an episode in the morning as he woke, where he couldn't get a breath, i ran and grabbed his inhaler (not knowing what was going on, as I had been in the other room. He took a puff, and within 30-40

Given lower dose of preventer
Hi all, me again! I picked up a new inhaler today and used it this evening. After I used it I realised it is a lower dose than my old inhaler which has confused me because I was told I’d be getting a stronger one. I was on clenil 200 “puffer” 2 puffs, 2x a day; new inhaler is fostair 100/6 powder 1 dose

Clenil and potassium
Hello everyone, I’ve just picked up a new inhaler (fostair) and haven’t taken it yet but have read the leaflet. It says something about risk of low potassium which made me wonder if my clenil inhaler has also got a similar risk but I haven’t seen anything specifically about it. I’ve had lots of muscle

Hyperactive airways?
Hi, so in December 2019 I was referred to the hospital chest clinic for testing. There they performed an x-ray, spirometry, blood test etc and the doctor who did this mentioned hyperactive airway sensitivity. I didn't receive a letter from the doctor with results - however they put me on the brown inhaler

The mystery of why I wake up at 4am
For at least 4 weeks I have been waking up regularly at 4am. I thought it was another reason with another long term condition. Had my medication adjusted and it still happen. Last week and the week before that I had to use my inhaler at night once. This week 3 x at 4ish starting Monday but not last night

Using a spacer for the first time
I have only recently been diagnosed and have been given a Fostair inhaler. My doctor suggested to me that I might benefit from using a spacer and I got an Aerochamber plus today. I'm worried that I'm being incredibly dim!The instructions say that it's ready to be used straight from the packet, which

Two weeks ago had a telephone appointment with a GP, I was concerned that my breathing had not been as normal for a few weeks. Certainly wheezing while breathing out, just breathing out! No real problem inhaling. I was asked to visit the surgery for a face to face appointment that same day with the GP

What is it like to have your asthma properly medicated?
Hi all, as I am one of the original first UK Coronavirus Lockdown's bronchitis or asthma (which is looking more like asthma now due to symptoms) patient since: 05/05/2020, due to being triaged at a hospital as my doctor could hear me wheeze and lose my breath the deeper I coughed over the telephone;

Chronic Side Effects of Asthma Medications
I joined this group some two months ago, soon after being been diagnosed with underlying asthma. At that time, I had been prescribed Forstair 100/6 and have tried the pressurised inhaler and NEXThaler fine powder options, both of which evoked horrendous side effects of hoarseness, dry mouth ulcers and

Swapping spiriva to Trimbow and update on referral
Hi, I managed to speak to the asthma specialist nurse at my own GP’s, about my increase in flare ups, increased prednisolone and need for referral that I posted about last week. He was very helpful in that he acknowledged that a referral was necessary, although being seen by a Consultant ‘as they have

Is this good or bad?
Tmi but I've just brought up a lot of mucus for about 10 minutes with constant coughing. I have started a stronger and new inhaler after an asthma flare up two weeks ago. Is this good? Is this my lungs bringing up all the bad stuff from the flare up?

Sob symptoms after 5days of prednisolone and currently stepping down
Hi hope all is well with you all. During an asthma flare up which started 12 days ago I was given 5 days prednisolone 40mg daily and another inhaler (Atrovent and then replaced by Spiriva a week later). I normally need a 2 courses of steroids and step down to sort out the problem, but as I’ve had too
