Difficult to diagnose and treat asthma, not VCD... 3rd asthma doctor needed
My current asthma doctor has recently decided that most of my coughing and SOB symptoms are attributed to VCD. During my latest URI and flare she told me it was my VCD and to rest and use cough medicine. That didn’t work, I called in two more times- my cough and SOB was constant and she still wouldn’

Another trip to A&E with my 4 year old son
So just needed to rant a little.... I posted about 2 weeks ago when my son caught another cold resulting in a visit to the out of hours clinic and a 5 day course of pred (5th dose in 10 months). The GP upped the dose of the preventer inhaler to 2 x 2puffs 100mcg Clenil and we were hoping to see out

Severe asthma attack but here to tell the tale
I’ve had the most scariest 48 hours of my life ! Last week I developed what I thought was a cold which rapidly made an impact on my secretions. I took a sputum year to the lab directly ( I’m a nurse so can do that ) and went home sick. Saw my gp on Friday who started me on co-amoxiclav as I had growing

So many bugs!
Ugh so I’d just managed to clear one virus (+ pleurisy) that I was in with 2.5 weeks ago and already seem to have picked up another one 🙄 That combined with the cold, damp weather, our neighbours having fireworks earlier in the week and Diwali celebrations on tonight mean I have one unhappy chest 😫

4 year old with suspected Asthma
Have been following the forum with great interest so hoping that I could get some advice for my 4 year old son. He was first diagnosed with viral-induced wheeze back in February of this year after being admitted to paediatric A&E. He was given a Salbutamol inhaler and a course of prednisolone. We thought

Another update - 8 weeks and counting
After obeying the GP who told me the cough was pharygeal and to take a cough suppressant and reduce the QVar (brown) inhaler, and that I did not have asthma, unsurprisingly things became worse. I then developed an ear infection but no surgery appointments available so saw out of hours GP - who told me

It's not been a good day and I'm feeling quite down now about it...
Last week I felt so much better and the last couple of days bit downhill again. Dry hacking a bit and getting breathless, week 6 of Bronchitis and I know the symptoms do linger on for a long time as Ive had it last 3 years running. But today went to meet two friends at Bluewater and found cos I was talking

So fed up, Thursday night woke up with coughing/ tight chest. Peak flow was at 230. Went to drs in the morning and got steroids for 5 days. felt just as bad that evening with salbutamol not helping. So I went back that they wanted to send me to a&e but we compromised with a nebuliser at drs. But with

Fostair/ coughing fit leads to closed airway.
I was placed on Fostair in the last fortnight and one unusual thing that happened a few days later was a vicious coughing fit out on the street. When the fit had emptied my lungs, the airway closed off and I couldn't breathe - very alarming. The GP said it was actually an asthma attack although the Fostair

Asthma with no wheeze?
My daughter is six years old. She has had severe food allergies and asthma since birth. Her tiggers are food eatin, food particles fine enough to inhale(steamed milk, or smoking beef) and viruses. My question is: does anyone else have asthma attacks but there is no wheeze before or after the attack.

New diagnosis. So tired.
I am newly diagnosed with asthma. Likely have had it most of my life. I am having pulmonary function tests done tomorrow. My question is: Will my energy come back when I have this under control with medication. I have not been able to have anything except cough meds and albuterol since I have gotten

A rough month Cough Variant Asthma
Hello all, I suffer from cough variant asthma. My big triggers are cold air and cold beverages. I've had it since I was 15 and caught a cold.

Tiredness (again!)
Actually it is more than tiredness - it is hollow-legged, shaky insides, exhaustion and I want to know why! This is day three of my third lot of oral steroids in six weeks, and day three of my second lot of antibiotics (despite my chest being clear). I am on week 7, day 2 of being poorly - the latest

How do you ring for help....
....when you can't breathe??? I am fine, and I didn't need help in the end but it was a sobering experience. I went to bed, lay down and started to cough - and I coughed and coughed and coughed until I was retching and thought my lungs were going to end up in the sink! I staggered downstairs and put

First severe asthma attack (long post sorry)
On Saturday I had a really bad asthma attack. I’ve had a couple before that I thought were bad but with each one it seems to get worse. Although, thankfully they’re pretty spread apart. On Saturday I couldn’t breathe. My chest was really tight. I took 19 puffs of salbutamol, was taken out of my work
