Chest or trachea infection?
This maybe a very daft question but I have been struggling with what I think has been a chest infection for the last 11 weeks. Diagnosed with asthma 30 years ago. I have had lots of medication and produced lots of mucus but still have it! The front of my chest is sore and the base of my throat but my

Asthma Exacerbation Protocol or treatment chart
I just wanted to get this definition clear in my mind. When I was in A &E on Saturday the doctor who saw me had a flow sheet/protocol of what they do when they treated me. The title of this document was Asthma Exacerbation which I now know means asthma attack. I been in A &E twice in three days last

Cold, asthma attack and cancelling breathing test
Hi all I posted last week that I had a cold and asked for advice. I was fine on Thursday but Friday my peak flow drop down to 350/500 which 60%. I was a bit surprised but decided to treat myself with lots of Ventolin regular. I couldn't get my peak flow to go up but I thought I would be OK. Saturday

Recovering from flare up
Following my recent post, I thought I'd just ask to see if anyone has similar experiences when recovering from an attack or "exacerbation" as it says on my discharge letter. Symptoms had been playing up for about 3 weeks prior to a hospital stay for 5 days, had lots of tests for other things done to

Returning to Exercise.. tips?!
Hi Bit of background: I was diagnosed with asthma in November as I started having issues with exercise from late August / September onwards. I stopped my classes and eventually cancelled gym membership whilst in the process of being diagnosed. The last time I exercised I went for a light 20 minute run

Several attacks..
I don’t understand why I keep having attacks, I’ve had 5 in the last three months, been upped on beclometasone then upped again to Fostair 100/6 to see how I am on that for now , testing antihistamines to see if dust mites are triggering it yet my peak flow is 350 or below most days which is my red zone

Flying
I have been on antibiotics and steriods for 8 days, 4 more days to go. Coughing up plenty of gunk, very sore abs due to coughing so much. On a brighter note my peak flow is better and waiting for results of a chest xray. Have bought a portable nebulizer online as recommended by my GP and he will prescribe

Doctors are testing me for asthma, so many questions!
Hello everyone, apologies if this is a little long winded but I've not been able to get this out of my mind all week. I have previously been treated for GERD. I was given a tablet which took away all the symptoms. Around the end of summer I noticed some of the symptoms started to pop back, mainly -

Newly diagnosed and anxious
I’m newly diagnosed with (mild?) asthma and I’ve become so anxious. I wasn’t really given much information on it so I started googling it and have become so overwhelmed with triggers, fatal attacks, statistics etc that I just spend my life going to work and going home. Out of this comfort zone I’m in

Do I need to see doc more urgently?
Hi there, new poster here! Have had mild asthma since 2014 w/ salbutamol only, then Clenil on and off since summer 2016 after a bout of viral pneumonia, had a course of prednisolone then. I had a viral URTI in September 17 with a lingering cough which triggered my first proper asthma attack at the end
