Why do I lack energy in my legs?
Hi everyone. First time I've posted a message but would welcome some feedback. As a 71 year old male I've been treated for bronchiestasis for over 25 years but have kept very active including 10 mile walks in the Cheviot Hills every week. Last summer I contracted pneumonia. I finished my last 2 doses

Cough
Anyone have a changing cough with their asthma? At times It’s literally like someone has a feather duster and is tickling my throat and chest. And it feels very dry. Then at other moments I’m coughing up mucus and sometimes mucus plug (gross) Sometimes I don’t know which I object to more, the breathlessness

High BNP and heart failure
Been having swollen ankles for ages with only 'superficial 'advice from doc/GP.After a strong letter to him and a whole range of bloods one of the bloods came up with a very high BNP result.To cut a long story short. I have no other symptoms of heart failure eg walk very well, climb stairs, not breathless

Scientists shed new light on how lung bacteria defend against pneumonia.
New insight on how bacteria in the lungs protect against invading pathogens has been published today in the open-access eLife journal. The study in mice shows that a strain of lung bacteria called Lactobacillus provides a barrier against Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) colonisation in animals

Chest infection/cough and antibiotics.
Had antibios 3 weeks ago for a possible chest infection with cough. 2 weeks since I finished them and my cough is just getting worse. Are you normally supposed to go back to GP in this timeframe, or do the antibiotics take a long time to stop the cough/chills/feeling crummy?

Blocked sinuses?
Is anyone else really suffering with blocked sinuses? It’s now developing into a full blown cold which I have no idea how I got it as have been isolating for weeks! I’m 9 weeks and just feel so run down and exhausted and my blocked nose isn’t helping me to sleep. Any tips or tricks as I can’t take any

Experience of A&E
Discharge notes mention I was in Type 1
respiratory
failure
. Hypoxia is a symptom of Covid. So I was quickly bundled out to the "red side" of A&E. That was a scarier place. I had forgotten to bring my hand gel from home. I wasn't offered any.

CR 5
This was a great run. I did 9.45 km in under 10 minutes which is a record for me. It was cold but not too cold. I have a nice route and now the run isn’t about each step but each segment of the route. The music was good but I’ve had enough of the Aladdin soundtrack, especially because it’s the “new”

Cardio inversion worked on afib but not how I feel
Hi I wonder if anyone out there has had a similar experience to me following a cardioinversion. I had one Friday afternoon following three and a half weeks of Afib with a rate around 145 bpm. after 2 weeks I began to get weaker and more tired and despite being a coward I was genuinely glad to walk into

Liquid gel in COVID patients’ lungs makes way for new treatment.
In some patients who died with severe COVID-19 and
respiratory
failure
, a jelly was formed in the lungs. Researchers have now established what the active agent in the jelly is and thanks to that, this new discovery can now be the key to new effective therapies.

Continuing flare of cough predominant asthma - amytryptiline
Hi guys, thought I'd post a quick update as it might help someone else sometime. I have cough predominant asthma, which means coughing is my main symptom but I do sometimes wheeze when I'm really bad, and I also can get tight and short of breath. I was discharged from hospital on 10th November after

Has anyone been told they cannot have a flu jab?
Has anyone been told they cannot have a flu jab because they have not had a prescription for their inhaler for a period of time? I have received an NHS letter, however, my doctors surgery feels that I am not eligible. Although I am lucky enough for my asthma to be under control at the moment, I am still

Sir Sean Connery RIP
Recently left us all after a fine acting career. He died in his sleep at age 90. The cause of death was posted as pneumonia and it was noted that he suffered from AFIB. Perhaps an inspiration to us all.
