Symptoms or not?
Hello everyone welcome to my first topic post!! I was diagnosed with adult on-set asthma at the beginning of July. It was very scary, off to hospital in ambulance on oxygen etc. The asthma nurse has increased my symbicort to 4 puffs twice daily and for the first two weeks the need for my blue inhaler

I also suffered respiratory failure and was on a ventilator for 11 days

very confused any help appreciated!
Hi, I have spent the majority of this year in hospital with my asthma and chest infections/pneumonia, the last time i was admitted they managed to stabilise my asthma over a week with a combination of magnesium, aminophylinne and a stay on HDU for CPAP. Once i was stable enough to be on the normal ward

Hi am new - to here and to asthma!
Only diagnosed in November. I didn't really believe it to be honest. Had chest infection that went on and on and on. In and out hosp. Diagnosed with asthma. Given inhaler - it helped. Then I got better. And only felt bad when near strong perfume etc. Then last monday started wheezing and coughing

When to use a neb?
My GP loaned me a neb while i have a chest infection. Not sure whether to use it tonight. My peak flow is 440 but i am quite wheezy. I'm trying not to use it if i can help it, but the phloegm on my chest is making me wheeze. I have used my blue spray 3 times. The wheezing goes for a short time but then

Peak flow
Hi, I recently became diagnosed with asthma. I'm on a preventer treatment and have ventolin/salamol as a reliever when necessary. Stress seems to be my main trigger. I did a peak flow reading at the doctor's recently, and my reading was 500. Is this normal for an asthmatic, as I'm not familiar with

Worried about asthma/chest infection
Hi everyone, Usually my asthma is well controlled, that is until I developed a chest infection last week. I went to the doctor who prescribed me amoxicillin for 7 days and a 5 day course of oral steroids. These seemed to get it into better control again until I developed a bad throat and ear ache 3/

Have I really got asthma?
Have had some strange experiences over the last 7 to 8 weeks but, more severely, over the past couple of weeks only which have been preliminary diagnosed as asthma (first time I've ever been ill in 45 years with something that couldn't be easily cured by OTC remedies bought at the Pharmacy). My first

First Time
For the first time, I had a panicky moment where two puffs of Ventolin didn't help. Properly diagnosed this year as to having asthma, the brown preventer inhaler has done such a good job. that mostly I've been forgetting the hard times both before and shortly after, the meds sorted out. The other

Peak flow better in mornings
Hi My PF tend to be higher in the mornings than evenings, although I've read that in asthma you get a morning dip. Is this something that can happen with asthma or (clutching at straws here) could it indicate that it is not asthma?

Peak Flows
I have been taking my peak flows for over a year now morning and night when I first started my best peak flow was 550 and was quite often near it. Now my peak flow is around 400-450. Do I now move my peak flow to a new best?
