Overwhelmed by severe asthma
I was wondering if anyone else struggles with living with
severe
asthma
- I feel like it dictates a lot of my life and what I can/can't do. I work as an ICU nurse but have to take extended periods of time off because I end up in hospital with flare ups.

Asthma worsened after Covid and confused about what GP said.
Hi everyone, I'm grateful if people could share some wisdom please. I'm struggling with uncontrolled asthma for a few months, which worsened after contracting with Covid over a month ago. I still have tightness in chest, shortness of breath, wet cough, bad sleep, I'm on fostair now, which helped to

Hi there, this is my first time posting here, I’d like to share my experience with Asthma and would also love to hear some of your experiences and how you deal with this. (I also know I can’t ask for any medical advice) I had exercise induced asthma as a toddler, but grew out of it pretty quickly and

COVID and Asthma
Hello all, my son has recently tested positive for covid and I know I’m bound to get it soon. So I was wondering if anyone that has asthma and caught covid been eligible for the two special treatments from the GP? Only asking because I read something about it on asthma UK and I’m kind of looking ahead

severe
asthma

Post Hysterectomy Support
Hi I have been through a pretty bad time with Endometriosis in the last few years after we decided to start a family. Turned out i had stage 4 (and beyond!) endo with a 15cm chocolate cyst on my ovary and stuck to my bowel. I was advised having a child would be very difficult and that a full hysterectomy

Asthma and altitude
I hope to be trekking in Nepal in a few weeks time. We will be heading up to nearly 5,000 metres. Has anyone found that their asthma has been affected by such altitudes ?

Children with asthma
My daughter was diagnosed with asthma and had her first symptoms age 3. She’s been in hospital multiple times with attacks but only ever been kept in once. She’s on regular medication, preventer and reliever when symptomatic. Any parents with children with asthma constantly anxious? I am so paranoid

Asthma flare up
I know its a bad time of the year, and the NHS is working hard, but really worry, as having
severe
asthma
which deteriorates quickly, what the future holds. Sorry for the grumble, but been a long 48 hrs holed up in a basement in a hospital, and feeling I have been beaten up and exhausted.

Winter Triggers ❄️
Around 60% of people with asthma say that the cold weather triggers their symptoms. You can reduce the risk of cold air triggering an asthma attack when you are out and about by trying our Scarfie trick. Simply wrap a lightweight scarf loosely around your nose and mouth to warm the air you breathe in

Trimbow
I was on fostair 200/6 and spiriva for
severe
asthma
but today they changed my inhalers to trimbow and I was wondering if that was a step back because I read that it is a lower steroid and my chest has been dodgy for the last few weeks

Let's talk about....phlegm!!
We might not like talking about, or looking at our phlegm but it can actually tell you a lot about what’s happening in your lungs. Coughing up more phlegm than usual can be a sign that your airways are inflamed, and the colour of your phlegm can also be a good indicator for what’s happening in your

Colonoscopy yesterday
Hi all. I'm 54 years old and had my colonoscopy yesterday when I was diagnosed with bowel cancer. I had my CT scan today and waiting to find out if it has spread. My biggest fear is needing a stoma bad after surgery. Help, I'm panicking!

Has this happened to anyone else
has this happened to anyone else. Last August out of the blue I was admitted through A&E with an acute asthma attack, I'm 57 years of age and have not really been bothered by asthma for 25 years and even when I was younger was never hospitalised. Since August I've been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency

theoretical question: lung transplant
I am guessing compared living a lung transplant,
severe

may seem like a walk in the woods.
