Just learning ..
Hi another question from me as I’m new to this, hope everyone is well. I’m not seeing the GP til the 26th so just thought I’d ask some more advice. My Gp has given me a peak flow meter, prednisolone for 7 days and a ventolin inhaler. I predominately spoke about shortness of breath in the first appointment

Uniphyllin side effects
Hi, I’ve just been taking Uniphyllin Continus for a week -200mg am and pm. It seems to have finally stabilised my peak flow but the side effects are a real pain. About an hour after I take it (excuse the details) I get diarrhoea for 2 or 3 hours! I’ve tried taking it on an empty stomach, taking it after

New to forum, need a bit of help
Hi I have just joined this Asthma forum, hope all are well. Just wondering if anybody has any advice please. Apologies if it’s a silly question😊.

Flovent side effects
Has anyone else experienced chest tightness after taking Flovent ? I feel like my lungs are irritated after taking it and since stopping my peak flow has improved. I also felt like it was making me anxious. Thanks

Am I underplaying this?
Hello lovely people I’m not quite sure how I feel (except I’m back on steroids so - excuse the language )- ever so slightly ‘whizzing my tits off’. And this post may be a bit random but I’m wondering if I’m underplaying my symptoms? My personal best PF is 550. Last few weeks I dropped to 440 so changed

Is anyone else on 2 puffs of duo resp twice a day?
I was diagnosed ŵith asthma about 18 years ago after a bout of wheezy bronchitis. I was left with a cough. I was given various treatment and am now on duo resp. steroid inhaler. I always feel like I’ve been misdiagnosed though, because whenever I need to see a doctor when I feel breathless, my peak

What is the difference between spirometry and peak flow?
Had a phone consultation with my surgery’s asthma nurse this morning. She has decided to put me down for spirometery when they start doing it again. Mainly I think because I told her that back at Christmas time when I had a horrendous virus - sure it was covid but we didn't really know about it then

Natural hormones as a supplemtn
Hello Does anyone have any experience of a natural supplement (such as red clover or flaxseed)? Taking HRT (tibolone) didn’t suit me so I wanted to know if it was possible to use a supplement instead that works as well. Thank you.

Qvar question
Short version: possible Covid back in March, persistent breathlessness helped by salbutamol, was put on Qvar 50 2bd. 5 months on, docs are still saying I'm post-viral and can come off it any time, but every time I try, my lungs feel sore and itch intensely as if I've got mosquito bites inside me. Increasing

Sharp calf pain in right leg. Wk2 run1
Hi all. So the good news. My peak flow is up so my lungs are getting stronger which is fabulous. Went for the first week 2 run of 90 sec jog and 2 min walk. But on the second set I had a twinge in the middle of my right calf. This meant that I had to heel strike for the rest of the set to get it done

Recent resp. Appointment - new meds
Just wanted to update some of you on my recent app (should have been in April, thanks covid 🙄) So my blood test done in March showed my eosinophilic count had dropped to 0!!!! This is the best news ever! And the lowest it has ever been! And overall I’ve felt so much better during the shielding process

Asthma hit me out of the blue
Hello to everyone at A UK I joined Health Unlocked some time ago because I suffered from Polymyalgia Rheumatica and needed advice. It's a nasty auto immune condition that can be managed with steroids. I am one of the lucky people to make a recovery after 2 years. Now, I'm getting on happily with life

What next?
Hi all, Hope you are well in this COVID craziness. I have an appt with the Asthma clinic today. Ive has a terrible spring & summer; 5 rounds of steroids, using my nebuliser more than I ever have, averaging about 6-10 ventolin a week minimum. I tried uniphyllin but it made me horribly sick. My Oxygen
