My First Shopping Trip
Well, my mobility scooter let me do my first supermarket shopping trip! Was so lovely to browse for stuff, vs looking at it on a computer screen. I also bought a peak flow meter, so I could test my lung function out, and to my suprise, its scored 500-600, which is really good for me!! I'm very tall,

Tight chest, confusing Asthma like symptoms
Hi all, I had asthma as a child and practically grew out of it as an adult or rather it became very mild. I've always had a blue inhaler but would use it very infrequently. Around christmas time this year I caught a cold which then turned into a chest infection (numerous negative lateral flow covid tests

Switch from Seretide to Fostair 100/6
Have other people had problems when switching from Seretide (which was very successful for me) to Fostair 100/6. I am finding it less effective and peak flow has fallen by about 20%

Shortness of Breath
I had pneumonia in October 2021, and since then I've noticed I've had a real problem with chest tightness and shortness of breath. It's usually when I am talking/walking. It comes and goes usually based on reliever inhaler use. My reliever inhaler is usually working for for good few hours but then the

Covid
I have been really careful and managed not to get COVID until yesterday. I have a dreadful cold like symptoms all in my head, I have asthma but normally no wheeze. Since my symptoms have started I am wheezing now. I use Fostair and blue reliever. I haven't done a peak flow check yet, but I will start

Shortness of breath/breathing issues PV
Hi everyone. I am waiting on more tests to confirm Polycythemia Vera. I see from all my research a symptom is breathing issues. Over 20 years ago I was diagnosed with asthma and use preventative and Ventolin. I have always felt this is not asthma, peak flow is perfect and know what asthma looks like

This is the third cough/ virus/ infection since November and they have knocked me for 6. Any advice?
Hi there. I am new to the site and consider myself to be healthy, but unlucky when it comes to illness. I was asthmatic as a child, spending time in hospital when I was very young, which was horrid. Anyway, over time asthma seemed to disappear and I went without use or need of an inhaler from my 20s

When does your personal best peak flow change?
How long do you go without achieving your personal best peak flow before you downgrade it to a new 'best'?

Shortness of breath
Hello, forum. I’ve experienced increasing shortness of breath in the past three years, which resulted in a mild asthma diagnosis and a reliever prescribed for exercise (I’m an otherwise active 38 year old). Persistent and worsening problems led to steroid inhalers of increasing strength and then finally

Peak flow and COVID
Has anyone experienced a drop in peak flow with COVID? My peak flows have been within 8% of my personal best of 660 (predicted 640) for 3 weeks without asthma medication. Last Thursday, I noticed my peak flow had reduced to 570 which is a 15% drop and I had cold symptoms. By Monday, I tested positve

Hyperinflation/asthma
A recent X-Ray reveals that my lungs are hyperinflated which may be a factor in extreme breathlessness and low peak flow (40) diagnosed as chronic asthma. Does anyone have experience of hyperinflation and its treatment?

Desatting during attacks
So I got quite ill. Went down to 87% in the ambulance, struggled to get my sats up even with oxygen driven neb. Got discharged anyway. Is this normal? Been in and out of A&E multiple times this week alone. Admitted twice since the start of the year, etc. I'm really struggling even now. My sats still

Chronic allergic asthma restricting breathing at all times.
Hello everyone, any exercise or activity such as a shower severely impairs my breathing. This has worsened considerably over the past yearI manage this at home by resting between activities and TaiChi breathing. Outside I can walk slowly when accompanied but tend to feel panicky when alone. In a shop
