Asthma symptoms
Hi all, just wondering if anyone gets the same issue as me. So my peak flow etc is ok but at the moment I feel like it's harder to breath. Not like gasping for air but more like it's more effort. I am coughing up mucus but I think that's due to smoking. I am trying to stop but it's so hard It's really

Measuring peak flow
I had to get a new peak flow meter last week and have been having real problems with consistency. When I first used the new unit (different make to the previous one) I was shocked at how high my reading came out but know that different meters can vary. When I do my three readings, it is incredibly inconsistent

Call asthma doctor? She doesn’t help much. Long term prednisone.
It seems like the fall often bothers my asthma. I was hospitalized in fall 2019 for 6 days for severe asthma exacerbation. Then COVID started. I’ve been on oral prednisone since fall 2019. I’m on daily 25 mg. My doctor is trying to lower the pred. She says it’s not doing anything now my body is just

A few medical issues since starting DuoResp Spiromax 160/4.5 Budesonide/formoterol three weeks ago
Hello there, I still have not had a diagnosis for my bronchiectasis like symptoms; my chest x-rays showed scarring in march, but are now all clear now. Since my last serious chest infection earlier this year I have been perfectly healthy, active, cough and asthma free, only taking Fostair 100/6 four

Symptomatic but little change in peak flow
Similar to the previous post but I am only approx 2 yrs diagnosed and have tried various pumps to keep asthma controlled. My flare up symptoms are uncontrollable coughing, chest tightness and breathlessness to the point sometimes where I cannot talk walk. At this point I seem to be having no or very

Reconsideration of peak flow as asthma deterioration measurement
I think doctor should reconsider the peak flow device as main effective method for asthma diagnosis, I think such device is only helpful in patients with non inflammatory asthma like COPD or lung fibrosis, I remember when I was 15 I had lost consciousness due to severe asthma flare up, and I remember

Coughing Fits
Hello I'm in a bit of unchartered territory at the moment so would really appreciate some advice from fellow sufferers who may have more experience dealing with it. I was diagnosed with asthma as a baby and had it throughout childhood. When I reached my teens it vastly improved to the point I didn't

"normal" FEV1 and PF, and Small Airway Inflammation
My peak flow and my FEV1 are higher than the predicted, even when I get sick (for me <700 on the PF bad news, so is 110% on the FEV1). I found a few research papers on pubmed suggesting that PF and FEV1 are only sensitive to the medium to large airway function, and not sensitive to the small airway

Peak flow increased by inhalers
I've had asthma all my life and more recently got referred to a specialist due to my asthma being not controlled. The doctor has been amazing and I feel my asthma has been taken seriously. I used to take seretide 2 puffs twice a day, and ventolin when needed. My peak flow used to be at my very best 360

House like a Pharmacy
After having another crappy night and day in pain I had a mild panic today when I thought I'd ran out of Rennie's, non left in the 'bedside pharmacy' so ran to the large shelf I now have in the kitchen. On opening the cupboard I was greeted with a large box of pain killers falling on my head, whilst

Asthma has been rubbish this week :(
Hi all, so on Monday I went to the GP and was given a course of steroids. My oxygen was good and peak flow was ok. But my throat and chest just felt tight. I think the pollen is pretty high at the moment and I'm still struggling to stay of the cigarettes so I know that isn't helping :( Also I suffer

Feelings about FeNo testing
I have read a lot of comments about FeNo testing recently and am very interested to know different viewpoints. My consultant said it was going to become part of the gold standard for testing for asthma and lung inflammation and should be in every surgery. He even thinks eventually we (us with asthma

Sleep without drugs
I take
Passion
Flower
, Valerian Root, Melatonin (3mg ONLY). Since I am 81, I sleep 5-6 hours a night but these herbs get me to sleep within 20 minutes. The rest of the night I'm in and out.
Passion
Flower
and Valerian Root you can check with your doctor and Mayo Clinic and wing it.
