Advice please re priority/vulnerable vaccine groups
I'm 54, live in Scotland and in late 2018 had a spiro test after collapsing at work, I was diagnosed as severe Stage 4 COPD. A few weeks later I was having frequent chest pains and referred to a cardiologist. From Oct 2018 to Oct 2020 I've had 15-20 ambulance admissions to A&E with chest pains and I

Worried for the future of Asthmatics
I'm very concerned about a policy shift within my medical practice which I'm told is actually government driven. I'm asthmatic and have been since childhood, it's no big deal, I manage it pretty well but during the course of my day I invariable need to use my Ventolin inhaler. There's triggers I try

How do I know if my asthma is mild/moderate etc?
I have ongoing daily symptoms (coughing/rattly phlegmy chest/intermittent tightness) and have had so for 4 years now. I have just been given Fostair 200/6 inhaler instead of my usualAirFluSal and continue to take montelucast, mometasone nasal spray and an antihistamine. GP says if this doesn't work

Inhaler shortage.
I have been using Bricanyl as my reliever inhaler for over four years now. For the first time, yesterday it was missing from my repeat prescription and have to wait for a text message when it arrives at the pharmacy. Understandable I suppose, it is made by AstraZeneca. There are a few puffs left in the

Has anyone been signed off work by their GP with anxiety?
Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has been signed off with anxiety? I'm really struggling to be honest! Work hasn't been great the past year or two, on top of covid and all the anxieties and stess that has brought with working in a nursery on top of having underlying health conditions... to top it all

Hyperventilation on exertion
Hi! I’m new to this group but not new to asthma. I was diagnosed officially at 5 years old, and I’m 40 now. It was out of control as a child, very well managed from adolescence into my mid 30’s, and then everything changed. My doctors have no answers, I’ve switched inhalers, added meds, etc but have

Lung restriction and mucus blocking airways
I’m a 42 year old man. I’ve always had mild asthma since I was a teenager, but had got worse now at 42. I’ve smoked cigarettes a bit in the past and smoked cannabis which hadn’t helped my breathing capacity but I’ve been fairly fit at different stages in my life Where I would jog regularly and use gym

Asthma exacerbation
I went for a run in the very cold weather on Tuesday and forgot to wear a buff to cover my mouth. When I got back my windpipe felt sore and I had to take my inhaler. I’m still feeling a bit wheezy a few days later. Anyone had this experience that lasted this long? I’m on Fostair and have started add

..and back on the steroid tablets I go........!
Had private appointment with chest consultant this afternoon( after NHS admitted they couldn't give me a follow up appointment for several weeks). Sadly the inflammation and coughing up yucky plugs of brown phlegm require a 3 week clobbering with Pred tablets🙄. Does explain why my inhalers weren't doing

Seretide Vs Aloflute
Hello! I’ve been taking seretide and ventolin inhalers as normal for the past 20 years, but the last time I went to pick up my preventer prescription it was Aloflute/generic. I’ve been taking this daily (as normal) for the last month or so and an finding the puff to be really ineffective, not as strong
