Atypical asthma ling function results
I posted before about my atypical asthma, as there are quite a few people with similar symptoms that have also been dismissed I thought I would share my results. Additionally if anyone has any insight, would be interested to hear. I pad to have a lung function test at a hospital to get some answers and

6 Months+ of Asthma Issues
Hi all, This is something of a ramble, but I feel like I'm at the end of my tether. At the end of May I had several severe asthma attacks and I still don't feel right over half a year later. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, I was given prednisone to help get the inflammation down and since

How much does mucus affect peak flow?
I was getting 350, then a bit later I cleared some mucus, I then got 400. It seems like mucus is making my readings worse. Seems like it could mess with tracking it. Do you disregard reading like that? This happens to me a lot. Thanks

Lung Stiffness
My peak flow hasn't changed, and I dont have any chest tightness or any other asthma-y symptoms, but I've noticed over the last few days whenever I'm taking my inhalers my lungs feel stiff and sore on the inhale. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? Its more of a discomfort than anything

Very confused !
I have recently restarted the lchf diet and have been doing a lot of research during the course of which I came across a site called Healthline . In the article I was reading they were discussing why some people don’t lose weight using low - carb diets . Two of the reasons were ‘ eating too many calories

New to asthma at 38... struggling
Just been diagnosed with asthma by the nurse after 3 months of issues.. Shortness of breath, wheezing and cough. New to this to be honest and I’m finding it quite a challenge to adapt to. I’m 38. Had first proper attack about 3 weeks ago, went to A&E they sent me away with steroids. Did peak flow over

Asthma slow onset and atypical - getting help
Hi, I have the sort of asthma that doesn't fit the norm in that I don't weeze. I get breathless from doing things like walking but when I sit down it tends to go away after awhile. Last month I had a hell of an experience trying to get help for my worsening asthma symptoms. Part of the problem is covid

Itchy burning face, ears, neck
Just over a week ago I started having watery diarrhoea. Have now spoken to my GP and taken a stool sample for analysis but thankfully it is now clearing up. Don't know whether its connected but the skin on my face is burning, very itchy especially when in bed or warm. Its on my face down my neck,

My symptoms consist of my chest becomeing really tight, it almost feels like the back of my throat is tight and my breath feels wheezier too

The Dr is going to give it a try! Started Synthroid yesterday!
Hi everybody, I’m new here and I posted 3 weeks ago saying that my dr didn’t want to give me Synthroid, but now he will! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Long story long, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto 15 years ago when I was 27 and never did anything about it. After reading a LOT here I realize that I’m not feeling good

Peak flow tracking
Hi all I must admit to not tracking my peak flow unless I think my asthma is getting worse. What is the gold standard for doing this correctly?

VitaminD levels & magnesium
I was just wondering if many of you have checked your Vit D levels. I assumed that taking Vitcal D for the last 6 years my levels would be good. When I’ve had bloods done they have never included Vit D. So I sent off to Medicheck and was surprised when the results came back at the low end at 60.7. So

W6R1 Weird Smell
Just got back from my W6R2 of C25K and had a weird smell in my nostrils. Googled it and it’s amonia which means I’m burning protein! I’m on a low carb diet. Any ideas of what I should eat before a run to avoid this? The run was fab though 👍🏻
