Asthma, pneumonia A&E and admission
Well it's day 3 of my treatment for pneumonia with oxygen, rescue steriods antibiotics and neubs (if necessary). I took myself to A&E on Thursday night as I thought my asthma was flaring and not responding to my salamol. Turns out not asthma but low oxygen levels and pneumonia. The nhs were at there

asthma
is
severe
? I have looked at journal articles etc but couldn’t find an answer as different sites give totally different percentages

Asthma attack recovery

Eosinophilic Asthma
My consultant at the hospital suggested I have this type of asthma. Apparently your white blood cells attack your lungs. I was put on a one year study and I’m now permanently on the injection once a month. In the US the brand name is Nucala, here it’s Mepolizumab.

working out fev1 as a percentage
Hi I've bought an asthma-1 Vitalograph FEV1 to monitor my asthma between appointments as I don't think peak flow really shows my asthma up very well. When I blow into it it just shows a number eg 3.87 , not a percentage as it doesn't measure FVC and there's no instructions in with it other than a diagram

Do I still have asthma?
Hi,I was diagnosed with asthma some ten years ago after having moved to a new environment. During the first winter, we renovated our "new"house (actually some 15 years old). It was a lot of building dust flying about. One morning on awakening, I had trouble breathing so off I went to the hospital

Consultant wants to take me off inhalers
I had an appointment with my Respiratory Consultant and he's questioning my asthma diagnosis because my last set of breathing tests were normal. He said that you would expect to see something on the tests that indicates asthma and that even though I have a formal asthma diagnosis on my GP records he

2 year old asthma
Hi, it looks as though my little girl has asthma. She has all the symptoms & has already been in hospital 3 times treated for an asthma attack. Because she’s under 5 they are very wary of diagnosing her at the moment, however she does have a brown inhaler which she has before bed & in the morning plus

flare?
I have
severe
asthma
as well as pmr . Last December as I was recovering from an asthma flare up I got covid. I have not yet recovered, it feels like one step forward two steps back. So far this year I’ve had two lots of antibiotics for the ensuing chest infection, and steroids ( 5 days at 40 mg).

Still don’t really know if I have asthma or not
Hi, I know I’ve posted similar to this before but I suppose it’s because I don’t know where I stand in terms of breathing/ asthma status I do also have anxiety which I’ve received help for but I still feel on edge with the whole I might have asthma thing. I have had tests which haven’t revealed anything

Can anyone recommend household cleaning products that are suitable for asthma sufferers? Most of the products available in supermarkets seem to aggravate. Many thanks for any recommendations.
