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. Before I got on any meds to treat it, the cough used to get so bad I would vomit from coughing too hard. Only then would I finally cough out mucus allowing the

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

Ventolin and reflux???
Hi - it’s an unusual side effect (I don’t think it’s even listed as one!), but does anyone else get a worsening of reflux symptoms if they use too much ventolin? I’m currently on ranitidine (omeprazole ‘gave’ me reflux 🙄) and rarely get issues as was initially put on prophylactically due to pred until

What I wish I had known (and what I have learnt through trial and error!)
Asthma is a learning curve so here’s what I wish I had known from the beginning! In no particular order: 1. Asthma is different for everyone. Obvious now, but starting out to me asthma was asthma - a blue pump fixed it and a brown pump prevented it. Now I know all the different types and severity, and

Severe asthma attack ...still poorly
Hi guys I'll try and keep this as short as possible. I got out of hospital yesterday after a severe asthma attack. I didn't respond to nebulisers as much as they hoped so I had IV magnesium then had more or less continuous nebs and oxygen for 24 hours. I've been discharged on antibiotics, steroids 40mg

Peak flow
Hi can someone please explain peak flow to me? I take it twice a day at the minute as I've been feeling unwell for a week and I've been on a 5 day course of prednisolone. I find my peak flow has raised but I still feel quite poorly. Also, I think I had too much salbutamol today as I felt very shaky,

Dealing with smoke, stress, and extra heartbeats
Hi everyone. I've decided to come out from lurking on this forum and say hello. Here's a little about me. I was diagnosed several times over the years with mild asthma. It didn't trouble me much until wildfire smoke pollution took me over the edge and to the emergency room. I was better in the winter

Advice on taking Clenil?
I have been started on the brown Clenil inhaler on Monday after being diagnosed with allergic/seasonal asthma... I also take salbutamol too which I am fine with taking, however I have found I am struggling to take in the Clenil... I use my aerospace chamber spacer, but it just seems that when I take

Calling nebuliser users! RE: Help with choosing a new one
Usually, I only use my nebulised salbutamol when required sporadically during exacerbations and occasionally I will have a period of regular bronchodilators (
salbutamol
with or without
ipratropium
) as a bridge between hospital and home.

Do we have a right to choose inhaler?
When I was first diagnosed (COPD+Asthama) I was given seretide, I found it to be great, very quickly I was running upstairs again unfortunately I told the GP how happy I was with it and he said "well lets keep that for later then" and changed me to Indactorol. Well 7 years have passed and I have gone

Worsening Breathing Probs
I am currently on a beclomethasone inhaler for a couple of weeks, with a salbutamol one for 'just in case' as my GP thinks I may have asthma. I've had breathing issues on and off for a little under 2 months but over the past few weeks they've become progressively worse. It feels as if my diaphragm just
