1st Asthma Nurse Apt
I have my first appointment with the asthma nurse a week on Wednesday. I was wondering what I should expect? I'm expecting that I will have further tests done, as all the GP did was check my chest and did a peak flow reading. Should I try and avoid taking my reliever inhaler that day if at all possible

problems with low peak flow
Hello, I am fairly new to this forum. I am asthmatic and I have been suffering with it for my entire life. I had some episode of 'chest infection' 10 days ago. I feel I have recovered from that and have little symptoms but for some reason I can't get more than 250 on my peak flow since.. (normal being

Dr Jekill & Mr Hyde strikes again!
Soooooo frustrated i could scream, cry & generally need a straight jacket i'm so cross with my consultant! After 3 months of my work chasing my cons for a medical report he has sent one to them and its complete rubbish (not just my opinion, my HR officer said 'its useless to us and utter rubbish').

Bronchial spasms vs. asthma?
Hi guys, forgive me for the long post, this is my first one and I hope someone can point me in the right direction :) I’ve included a ‘bit’ of history, but I’ll put my questions here so you don’t bet bored reading. I have just been diagnosed with exercise induced bronchial spasms after having two episodes

Peak flow - controlled asthma appearing uncontrolled
Hi My 5 year old son had his asthma review 2 weeks ago and we've started recording his peak flow. The first week his readings were fine, but in the last week I've had to multi-dose him with his reliever inhaler six out of eleven times using the peak flow meter levels. This isn't like him to need his

Coughing while taking peak flow reading
As someone newly diagnosed with Asthma I am still unsure about many things. During this last bad chest infection I have had great difficulty trying to get a peak flow reading, each time I try to blow into the tube the coughing starts and mucus blocks my throat. Is this usual and if so how do you get

Breathless and uncomfortable but peak flow ok?
Stupid question time from yours truly. My best peak flow so far (and I'm still doing the regular readings for the asthma nurse to diagnose) is 410. That is an evening reading when it should be at its best anyway. I've had a run of really good days and have been able to get on and do most things without

Kind of new here. Tiredness and asthma!
I was a member here for several years when my daughter was asthmatic. I made many friends and gained tonnes of help. She grew out of her asthma and is very well now but I have developed asthma and all the old info I had in my head is hiding!! I'm still at the stage where I'm completing a peak flow

I'm new!
When I say I am new, that means to this site and to COPD. I am 57 and am pretty fit and healthy but after I gave up smoking in January, I started to have breathing problems. To cut a long story short, I have a very good GP who specialises in Asthma/COPD and the practice has a respiratory nurse.

COPD and always tired
Hi, I visited my doctor about a month and a half ago as I hurt my shoulder and while I was with her I thought I may aswell mention how breathless I get. Was given a peak flow to use for a month then had to see her again. I was told I had asthma and given a brown and blue inhaler and was asked to make

Does anyone understand how peak flow measurements indicate severity of COPD
I am assessed as moderate COPD, however my peak flow of 275 does not appear on peak flow charts, the lowest figure being 300. The medics tell me my peak flow and breathing are fine/normal. This is very confusing as anyone else encountered this sort of cofusion during their treatment?

Weird triggers
My peak flow took a bit of a dive this morning when I accidently inhaled toothpaste froth. [Stupid face]. Didn't struggle too much to get over it, but it got me thinking about weird triggers. One of my weird ones is toast, it doesn't even have to be overdone. What are your weird triggers? Would love

Peak flow assistance please
Hi I'm new to this site and was diagnosed with asthma 8 years ago, but suspect I had it since I was a child. My parents thought I was breathless because I was unfit, hence such a late diagnosis. My asthma has been a lot better since I moved away from the city, but I haven't been treating it as such
