Asthma inhaler
My brown inhaler hasn’t been working very well for me, and the nurse in my practice prescribed a pink one called Fostair. It said you must read the pamphlet before using, so I have, and it says ‘do not use beta blockers with this medicine’. I’m on Atenolol 50 mg, and also to talk to your doctor if you

Should I be on levothyroxine yet?
I'm new here. Hello! I'm a 61 year old woman- usually fit- good BMI and do strength training. No regular meds until recently. In spring 2018 I felt tired and rundown ( I have a stressful job and it was over 2 years since my last period so I wondered if this was just post menopause - not on HRT) The

Using an Inhaler with cardio issues
As a few will know I have had Cardio problems since 1997, fixed with quad CABG and later stents fitted. Had several issues with breathlessness and diagnosed with HF. All of these quite well managed these days. Earlier this year just before everything kicked off I had had more breathing issues and had

Making Sense of HF.
Yesterday I had a home visit from my G.P. It wasn't precooked but a district nurse came to do monthly blood test and decided the Dr needed to see me as my bp was 78/48. I haven't been well for a couple of months. Exhausted, sleeping solidly day and night, light headed, a bit confused in fact sort of

Confused and bewildered
I am a68 year old male and developed breathing problems 12 years ago. My GP's prescribed loads of inhalers etc but it never seemd to get any better. I get 3-4 really bad flair ups a year which really lay me low. About 6 years ago my GP said a definately had COPD and would treat me as such even giving

Do I need steroids again?
I only starting suffering with my breathing in Feb 2020. I am 49 - never had asthma before. By the time it was bad enough to phone the GP everything was in lockdown, and I’ve not been to the asthma clinic or physically seen the GP. So, in August despite being put on inhalers and anti-histamines I was

Finding the way ☀️
I’ve steadily got used to the cold air, and after a blip in October as the weather changed, I’ve now learned how to keep the asthma under control. Having come so far through JuJu’s magic plan, I had become a bit disappointed that I suddenly needed to do run/walk intervals, as I just couldn’t get my

Ran today with no inhaler 😁🎉🏃♀️
Well after 3 days of clearing the old floor, frequent trips to the dump, technical issues with the new floor... including 2 faulty pieces and unable to get a replacement box until mid December, then moving furniture back onto the half floor that was completed only to find that the feet had picked up

Allergic / nocturnal asthma
Hello, hope everyone is doing ok. I have a question to people who have difficulties sleeping and getting woken up at night. I've had fairly mild / standard asthma since a child. I'm quite healthy, fine with exercise and have a good peak flow, but over the last few years since reaching my 30s, I've started

Are hot flushes a sign/cause?
I'm trying to work out whether my symptoms could in fact be anxiety. Before I start to struggle, I almost always get really hot and sweaty, this continues until my breathing has calmed. It's like a little heat siren that I need to rest and take my inhaler. I am only 32 so it's very unlikely that it's

Lung function test and FeNo
Hi everyone, Had my first ever lunch function test done this evening. FeNo was fine at 13. Kind of frustrating as I was told to continue using my inhalers when I checked yet turns out I should have stopped them. she initially said lung function was good and then said it was on the low side. As I

Add on drugs that are usually prescribed by GP; montelukast, LABAs, combination inhalers and steroids!
Hi everyone As I think I’ve mentioned before this post is going to go into some of the add ons medications for asthma. As there are so many, I’ve decided to split it into 4 posts; those typically prescribed by GPs, those prescribed by secondary cons, those typically prescribed by tertiary cons and those

Steroids - Everything you need to know!
Hi guys A follow on from my ‘inhalers -what to take and when’ post ( https://healthunlocked.com/asthmauk/posts/144713745 ) I thought I’d do a post about steroids today (as I build up to doing the other asthma drugs 😅). Hopefully this will help to alleviate some fears, and give some people some guidance

Running in the cold
Hi all! I hope someone will be able to help me. I've been running for about 3-4 months now with only a bit of difficulty from my asthma but obviously as it's now getting a lot colder, I've noticed my lungs are struggling a lot more. So does anyone have any ideas on how to combat this - e.g. inhalers,

Here we go!
Just had a call from a locum doctor from our surgery as I'd asked for a replacement inhaler. She started by saying that I was overdue a medication review (basically surgery only offers telephone diagnosis) so we could do it over the 'phone. Did I have a blood pressure reader and a peak flow meter? If
