Peak flow
I was wondering if most of you keep track of your peak flow levels? Is it something important?

Female High Peak Flow
My peak flow (female aged 64) is 550, well within the male range when the charts say I should be at around 390. I'm curious as to why this would be and what are the implications, good bad or indifferent. I have only recently started using a peak flow meter due to a tight chest and breathlessness. Goodness

Am I getting the right help for my asthma?
Do I need different help for my asthma? I am on symbicort 4 puffs daily. My peak flow is ok but can vary a bit. But every morning I have congestion and productive cough which leaves me shaking. I have never smoked. I have wondered about silent GERD and bronchiecstasis but doctors dont ever follow up

FEV1/Peak Flow
I have severe asthma and been on and off steroids for a month now due to a flare up, been feeling poorly again today after tapering them off and think I'll have to re-start them again, but just done my FEV1 on my little Vitolagraph monitor I bought off Amazon and while my FEV1 has come down since last

Very worried and in fear
How do I know if it’s silent reflux/ heartburn/panic attack or the darn “thing”. Unwell and funky things happening since mid March. I’m now on anti biotics as sore throat and inner ears and precautionary in case it’s strep (1st dose has made me feel sick and acidy). Friday changed my lanzoprazole for

peak flow
Anyone noticed sometimes they are tight chested, peak flow still classed as 'green' and salbutamol helps, but sometimes doesn't last the 4 hrs? I've been advised that as my peak flow hasn't dropped more than 20% I shouldn't be using my inhaler as its likely not asthma causing the band around my lungs

Don’t know what to do anymore 😢
Hello all, I will try to keep my post short(ish) but basically, I used to work away from home and progressively, certain aspects of my health deteriorated in the final year. Eyesight went extremely bad, weight gain, allergies and ENT issues but the worst was a cough and coughing fits and chest tightness

Lifelong asthmatic
Hi, I'm a lifelong asthmatic and until fairly recently didn't realise that my asthma is severe. It also seems that I probably have bronchiectasis - diagnosis incomplete due to the advent of coronavirus. What I don't understand is why some medical people are not concerned about when my peak flow drops

Peak flow questions
Hi all, just wondering how others are measuring their peak flow/getting on with this... - Do you use the standard peak flow meter (as pictured) or an electronic version? - And which chart do you tend to use to track your target peak flow against your age & height (if this is something you do)? I know

Benralizumab injections
Hi all, Hope everyone is keeping well in the current climate. It’s 5.40am I’ve been up since 4am - good old predsomnia and being mid flare! Anyone here having Benralizumab injections for eosinophilic asthma and have still had flare ups? I had my first injection 3 weeks ago and was under the impression

Wheezing with peak flow meter
Hi. I noticed that when I use my peak flow meter, a high pitched sound comes out when I’m blowing into it. I don’t ever wheeze, but this is the one time when it sounds like I’m wheezing. Anyone know why I’d only hear it when I’m measuring my peak flow?

How to blow into the peak flow apparatus

Anyone with covid?
Hi there! I’m day 4 into covid and would love to compare notes with other asthmatics who have it. I started with a very sore throat then had a terrible headache and body pains. Now I’m exhausted and my lungs are tight and feel a little hot but my peak flow and oxygen are good. My pulse is higher than

Peak flow
Hi my peak flow is currently around 300. I have never been very good at assessing the servitude of my asthma and hardly notice when I am breathless of wheezing as I have had asthma for so long. I am now a 48 year old(female) and am trying to take better care of my asthma. I have noticed I am sometimes
