Peak flow
Hi, I need some advice please. I’ve never suffered with Asthma till just over a year ago when I discovered that I had irrational of the airways. Anyway, my problem is that my peak flow meter readings are always between 150 and 200. I have no cough, no feeling of tightness in my chest, but nevertheless

5 years since diagnosed...
1st, sorry this is long... Made my Mama's homemade Tamales! Where did I get the energy. You tell me. This past year has been strange. Got my vaccines and the booster. And after my 2nd vaccine I experienced about week of energy. It was weird. Told my hep about it. He shrugged his shoulders. I just enjoyed

Vitamin D with K for babies
I advised my daughter to check the vitamin D drops she gives her four month old son to make sure vitamin K was included. From a previous post on here I recommended Carlsons, but after checking on Amazon it doesn’t mention vitamin K on the Carlson label. Can anyone recommend a product? Otherwise it will

Why Do I Keep Getting Pleurisy ?
Why do I keep getting pleurisy ? I don't smoke , never had , no history of asthma - I was hospitalised in June and given an x-ray confirming it was in the bottom of my left lung and I was given six steroid pills and two sessions on a nebuliser . Then my GP said I had asthma . I'm a woodwind player !

Steroid tapering
I have been given more steroids from the dr. I am not sure when to start tapering the dose. I had 12 days at 40mg. I’m on day 4 of 30mg. My next asthma review is the 14th December. I’m feeling a bit better but still waking a couple of times with a night coughing fit. When I go outside it’s sets

Peak Flow
Hello, I hope this is not a silly question. I have slight facial palsy, the right hand side of my mouth drops slightly so I never seem able to take a full "puff" when taking my peak flow, which is normally between 450 and 500. If I hold up my right cheek to match the other side it goes up to between

Cold and asthma
After the second cold in as many weeks my asthma has been trigger again. With the first cold after 3 days I ended up taking a 5 day course of my rescue steroids. My peak flow had drop and I started to experience a tight chest. I used ventolin every 4 hours too Now I find myself in the same position

Freshly picked Blackberries.
Hi everyone, Yesterday I picked these blackberries from brambles growing wild in my hedgerow so I didn't have far to walk. Blackberries are synonymous with Autumn in the UK and will be in fruit for a little while yet. Wild blackberries from brambles have much more flavour than shop bought ones in my

Lung function after having pericarditis
Has anyone been told that they don’t have any signs of pericarditis or effusion but has been left with breathing and lung function not as good as before falling unwell with this awful condition ? I was told a few weeks ago that my treatment was successful and my heart is completely back to normal size

I started almost a year ago with this diagnosis, unfortunately. I had biopsies in February to confirm cirrhosis.
Since then I dropped 40 pounds, changed to low carb, walk a lot, drink coffee, take asparagus extract, milk thistle, vitamin e. Collagen, and Actos. Was hoping for lower number, but progress is progress! Down to NASH 3 and 33% of my liver. Not sure what the numbers on the right mean?? I weigh 125

Newly diagnosed with Asthma

Peak flow after blue inhaler
Hi all, I was diagnosed with asthma during the first lockdown and I've queried the diagnosis since the blue inhaler never gave me much relief from my symptoms. I've never had an asthma attack as such but what prompted the diagnosis was the fact that I had an episode in which I was bent over my kitchen
