Feeling a bit down
I’m feeling a bit down and sorry for myself ...lol, do you ever have those days? I’m trying to fill out PIP form and you know when you’re writing your worst day scenario. Frustrated too cos I’m still struggling to breathe with the step up of my inhalers although my Peak flow is improving. I’m not bad

Feeling frustrated
Just wanting to air my frustration really. For background - I have asthma (since childhood) now with small airways disease (last year spirometry showed obstruction in small airways and CT scan showed mucus plugging). I had a nasty haemaphilus infection in March (I have a persistent productive cough

Better at night?
Hi, I'm new here and was recently diagnosed with asthma. I had a Covid-like virus at the end of March before testing was available in the UK, with breathlessness and low-grade fever. The fever lasted 18 days and still comes back occasionally. My bloods and chest x-ray were clear, and I had a negative

Struggling with a new asthma diagnosis
Hi recently been diagnosed with asthma I got a peak flow meter today but I don’t know what I good peak flow actually is. I’ve got a blue inhaler and a pink steroid one. I’ve got a spacer. Just stressing as I don’t know much about asthma. I’m trying to not google as I think that’s the worst thing I can

I’m having a moan...
Hi all, I’ve been on Xolair since Jan/Feb and my asthma has been amazing! I literally got my life back and have been so happy (bar that of driving myself crazy shielding). On Friday evening and Saturday morning, I completely forgot to take 3 doses of antihistamines, 2 doses of Flutiform and a dose

So frustrated...
So after not getting anywhere with my consultant I have transferred trusts and feel like I am out of the frying pan into the fire... The asthma nurse has sent me an asthma action plan with the average peakflow for my age and height instead of personal best, and says I am having an asthma attack if my

Symptoms but high peak flow
Hiya, I'm still waiting to be diagnosed but due to Covid-19, I haven't been able to meet the asthma nurse again. They think I have allergy induced/seasonal asthma as my main triggers are aerosols, hay-fever and tomatoes (intolerant). They suggested I track my peak flow so they have good evidence when

Technical issue/query regarding spirometry calculations
Right, so. Bear with me, as it’s a fairly long read, and I don’t know that anyone will have any thoughts or suggestions anyway. I am going to speak to the physiologists again, who are as desperate to understand this as I am, but thought it’s worth a punt posting here all the same to see if any of the

Asthma flare up since January

Unexplained SOB
Hi guys, I am 31, male and for the last 4 months I have been struggling with unexplained shortness of breath. Thank you for this forum as it has kept me mentally straight throughout this process. It started 4 months ago, after finally knocking 10 years of social smoking on the head (with a few periods

Plodding on!!
Not been on here for a while, but have a bit of Tim on my hands and am trying to sort my body out!! I am still on 100 mg levothyroxine per day and still borderline so doctors say that's ok 😏 I am also going through hot flushes and menopause symptoms at the moment. I feel that I need to find out what

Just a little rant!
Hi all, after what was a good 12 weeks for me with no admissions - the longest i had stayed at home since October was 2 weeks, everything feels like it’s going backwards! I have had 2 admissions in the last 4 weeks, one was requiring ITU for 2 nights, I was discharged on Wednesday this week, and again

What Kind Of Tea To Drink?
In my search for good teas to fight prostate cancer (Gleason 7), I have found a few that may help. From this March to present, my main tea has been Jason Winters tea. The "Original formulas" have oolong tea, red clover and either and sage or chapparal. Jason Winters verified that these shrunk his own

What is wrong with me? Losing the will to live!
Hi guys, Writing this as I’m having a really tough time of it lately and am getting to the end of my tether. I’ve had asthma all my life, and as a child and in my teens it was severe. My childhood was basically spent in and out of hospital. I’m now 28 and for the past 15 years have had what I’d say

I think my new antidepressant is making my asthma worse
I started taking escitalopram 5mg last Saturday to help treat anxiety. It has worked remarkably well so far. But I’ve noticed my chest becoming progressively worse this week, with my peak flow being at 375/350 and I can’t get it to budge. Normally it’s 400/410. I read that serotonin can cause bronchoconstriction

What I wish I had known (and what I have learnt through trial and error!)
Hi everyone Another repost from a couple years ago (and bought it up 8 months ago too apparently) so apologies if you’ve already read it 😉😂. But it’s another thing that those new to asthma may find helpful, and if anyone has anything they want to add just tag in! (I think this is the last for a while

What I wish I had asked my GP/asthma nurse (when first diagnosed 😉)
Hi everyone This is a repost of one of my posts from over 2 years ago 😱😱😂, but I thought it would be useful to update it, and repost it to anyone new to the forum and to asthma in general! A few years ago I read an article about shared appts with GPs ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45770998 ), and

What is Peak Flow?
There seems to be a lot of confusion of what peak flow is, how it works and what is a ‘good’ score so I thought I’d make a post on it! WHAT IS PEAK FLOW? Firstly peak flow (PF) can also be called peak expiratory flow (PEF) or peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) so any and all of these abbreviations means
