short of breath?
Hello, I don't post here that often but was wondering if anyone has been having similar symptoms and what were they told by a doctor about it? I have severe asthma and when I have a flare up, I normally start coughing, wheezing, being short of breath, and obviously that mainly happens during nights

Not well at the moment: miserable, very weak and on Pred etc
Hello Everyone, I am unwell at the moment with a virus that sent my peak flow into a nosedive. I suddenly found that I was extremely weak - almost couldn't walk - so saw the gp. She said there isn't a chest infection, so that's good, but she gave me Predisnolone tabs and I'm still on them. Seventh day

Wow I feel good...Laura said that I would!
Feeling so good this morning just had to share. Did stepping stones first thing - dark and freezing cold at 6am but was highly motivated by all comments here. Did the first two sections well, struggled with the 160 bit - but you know what I felt so good running for the whole session much faster than

Peak Flow
As a long time asthmatic (now diagnosed as COPD) I know the peak flow of old,but have never had a lot of faith in what it tells me. The only time I used it in the past was when I felt dangerously breathless and if it was less than 100 (sometimes 50) I got to the hospital. This year, on my honeymoon

Didn't think I'd be able to run for 5 minutes but it would appear that I can!
I took advantage of a brief respite in the deluge and headed out for the first run of week 4. The route I usually use is impassable. The footpath has become a fast flowing stream. I never run in my own village, it's too hilly, there are no pavements, and people know me! There was not a lot of choice

A period of readjustment (rambling moan alert)
Hi, I've just joined this forum because I'm going through a period of readjustment in my attitude towards my asthma, so I apologise if this is a bit of a waffle. I've had asthma since a young child, so can't remember ever not having daily inhalers etc. I would generally say my asthma was moderate,

Doc visit after attack?
I feel like a bit of a plonker asking this, but maybe I just need reassuring? Yesterday evening I had an asthma attack, not major - managed to get it under control with Salbutamol after four or five whacks. No big deal, although absolutely no clue what triggered it. Was just getting ready for bed. Then

Hi!
Hi everyone! I've been diagnosed as having Asthma for about 14 years now and in the beginning it was awful, I used to be up all night in the summer coughing and wheezing etc etc. But then when I eventually went to see my GP he diagnosed Asthma and gave me all the relevant meds and peak flow equipment

Any ideas?
Okay I have already posted this by my phone decided that it should delete it for whatever reason :/ I have just recovered from a viral infection ( one of my main triggers) and usually I would be back to almost normal by now with only a slight cough. However this is my second one in a month - I don't

Is this part of CVA? or is it not asthma?
Hi everyone, I've had cough variant asthma since I was 1 (or maybe birth) and it has got better and worse in that time. Sometimes when I was younger it was accompanied by some wheezing but this stopped by the time I was about 10. I'm in my early 20s now and have had a few coughing-fit sort-of attacks

So the asthma takes a win, and now I'm concerned about work
Hi guys, So as you know, we had the hurricane. That two weeks basically came to a stand still, but also had bits and pieces of emergency issues, phone lines being down, and people generally getting back to normal. I must say, everyone was very stressed! Meanwhile, I had started this new job in
