Frustrated and apparently over medicated
I've just had a frustrating call with the respiratory consultant. In the 7 months since I caught covid I've had 3 courses of pred, vast quantities of ventolin, added montelukast, upped fostair from 2x100/6 to 8 x 200/6 a day and added uniphylin continus - my GP has been fantastic and over 5 months I'd

Confused asthmatic
Hi, hope someone can offer some advice please. I am a life long asthmatic, quite severe, it has put me in hospital several times over the years. Anyway, it is, or was, well controlled with Seretide100 and Ventolin as a rescue med. In March I had C29, spent eight days in hospital on oxygen and developed

Bit of an update and a query
Hi all, hope you’re doing good. So I went to back to the GP after a week of prednisolone, peak flow diary and ventolin and he thinks from the steroids and ventolin helping me and the ups/downs of the peak flow that I may benefit from a preventer inhaler and to see an asthma nurse. He said I will need

Elevated liver enzymes - methotrexate? Asthma inhalers? Overweight?
Hi all on this grey and windy day, hope you're keeping cosy! I was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation to me: I had an early repeat blood test on Friday as my last one showed raised liver enzymes. Just got the results and they are raised again, so I have to book another and was told I

Nebuliser Advice
Hi, looking for any recommendations for a home nebuliser. I’m an asthma sufferer, not chronic but bad enough. Ventolin inhalers work for the most part but where I live it’s a 80 mile trip to renew my inhaler, sometimes they are out of stock. I live outside the UK, Ventolin are available in the pharmacies

Inhalers and Atrial Fibrillation
I have been given an Aero Chamber and Salbutamol ventolin evohaler. My GP suspected asthma although I havent officially been diagnosed with it. Apparently because of the Covid they are not doing lung function tests. I suffer with Atrial Fibrillation for which I take Flecainide. After reading about the

Just learning ..
Hi another question from me as I’m new to this, hope everyone is well. I’m not seeing the GP til the 26th so just thought I’d ask some more advice. My Gp has given me a peak flow meter, prednisolone for 7 days and a ventolin inhaler. I predominately spoke about shortness of breath in the first appointment

Uniphyllin side effects
Hi, I’ve just been taking Uniphyllin Continus for a week -200mg am and pm. It seems to have finally stabilised my peak flow but the side effects are a real pain. About an hour after I take it (excuse the details) I get diarrhoea for 2 or 3 hours! I’ve tried taking it on an empty stomach, taking it after

What is the difference between spirometry and peak flow?
Had a phone consultation with my surgery’s asthma nurse this morning. She has decided to put me down for spirometery when they start doing it again. Mainly I think because I told her that back at Christmas time when I had a horrendous virus - sure it was covid but we didn't really know about it then

Fostair
Fostair etc - Fostair not effective - changed back to Seretide on a daily dose - quite sufficient along with Ventolin if required.

Is Fostair 100 mild or strong?
Is there a stronger version of the blue inhaler Ventolin? As mine is 100 and I've seen another which was a 200? Also,is Fostair 100/6 a mild or a strong inhaler? I'm suspecting I need stronger meds as whenever the weather is windy and rainy (which is quite a lot) my breathing is very bad. I've been

Montelukast Prescription
Can I please seek your advice? I have been prescribed Montelukast in addition to my regular Symbicort and Ventolin. I tried 28 days of Montelukast and it worked well, but I have only been prescribed another 28 day of it...if I have to order every month it will be a pain ( I don't live near the town).

Still struggling with unstable asthma
The fight with my unstable asthma continues. I finished another short course of prednisolone last Saturday and on Sunday evening I had a scary episode lasting a few hours where I felt I couldn't get a full breath. It was like I was wearing a really tight top, I went for a walk, 10 minute stroll really

Face Shields/Visors
Hi! I was just wondering if anyone else has problems wearing face shields/visors? I work in a nursery and we are now required to wear PPE when handing over children, and I'm really struggling with the visors! I can't wear masks at all ( I refuse to go anywhere where one is needed, the only exception

How are your lungs after an asthma flare triggered by virus?
I'm just curious really, since this is not the first time I have experienced it and so it's not a shock to me (and I have an appointment with the asthma nurse booked) I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience? I have just had a chest infection which worsened my asthma. 2 weeks off work

45 minutes and feeling great 🌞
I headed out with my husband this morning, up on to a nearby hill on the eastern fringe of Bodmin Moor, just as the sun was rising 🌞 🐑 🐄 Sheep and cows gently grazing - blissful. Wish I’d taken a photo to share with you all! 😶 First time on this route and I was nervous. I have recently run for

On going asthma exacerbation
I’m now on week four of asthma flare. Been referred to the respiratory team however given the current situation with COVID I imagine this will be a very long wait. I’m currently on a tapering course of steroids following 14,days of prednisilone. Also nexthaler. Lots of ventolin. Montelukast and antihistamine
