Peak flow is normal but still not well
Today, when my pf results came in green numbers, it tells I'm fine. But actually, I'm coughing badly, short of breath and damn tired and sick. But my parents will still send me to school and I will have trouble attending even 1 class. What to do? Please advise.

First part of new regime done!
Had my appointment with health care assistant. Allocated half an hour, only in 10 minutes. Peak flow, blood pressure, weight check and a few ‘Are you breathless when’ questions. A print out of results showed a 5% improvement on last year’s test. Yay!! I have a form to fill in about how COPD affects my

Hello everyone.
Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and pretty new to the world of inhalers, at least on a regular basis. I am in my early 50's and, although I have had a blue inhaler which I have used every now and then for about 26 years I have not had a major problem until I had a nasty fluey cold/chest infection

Found my One and Only Proper Spirometry Flow chart today, Makes one think unless I am misreading it
So by proper I mean sitting in a cubicle with nose clip and face mask:) My other ones have been desk-top units one in Russia and one at my UK ex GP (ex because I was removed from the surgery list for not going to visit for over 6 months) Readings did not really give me cause for worry and I wonder why

Feeling scared Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Hi Everyone Its been some time since I last posted on here. Everything has been ticking along ok (pardon the pun). General health as usual has been a bit up and down. I was diagnosed with depression in August due to bullying and harassment at work. Consequently I left the job, I don’t miss the 75mile

To start from the beginning , I have had several several attacks over the past few months alone, been put on the brown inhaler then switched to Fostair 100/6 (currently 8 times a day) as well as antihistamines, a course of steroids and montelukast. Yet still I am struggling, not as much as I was, my

Getting a bit fed-up now....
Hi there. Newbie here :) So early November I caught a cold which turned into a chest infection...sinusitis then followed it. After two courses of antibiotics I thought I was on the mend...how wrong was I! The Doctor gave me Prednisolone to help my recovery but unfortunately sent me a little crazy. Three

Not sure what to do
Typically, I’ve got to Friday evening and my asthma is bad. If it wasn’t Friday I’d probably see my gp in the morning but obviously can’t do that. I’ve had some sort of virus for the past few days - first had a sore throat, then turned into a tickly cough. Yesterday I was coughing from midday, couldn

Peak Flow Question
I have heard that there should be slight decrease in peakflow between morning and night, but no clarification on what that means. So what is a normal difference between PF for morning and night? Do they mean by ten or fifteen or twenty? My PF tends to jump around within the 550-590 range so one day
