Updated pneumonia.
Hi friends. Just to let you know I have been in hospital again. As some of you know I was waking between four and six in the morning struggling to breathe. It came to a head on Wednesday morning at three forty five. On waking my first thoughts are the loo. I struggled to get there gasping for breath.

Pollen, symbicort Smart and ventolin
Any help or advice would be really very much appreciated as I don't know what to do for the best. Briefly I have mild asthma. I say mild as it has gone undiagnosed for years. Diagnosed 2 years ago amongst recurring pneumonia. Because of the pneumonia I am on Symbicort Smart regime. I have never had

Gone Fishing
Went fishing today for the first time in my life, must be entering a new childhood at nearly 70 years of age. Cant believe how tired I was after fishing for 6 hours. The concentration involved watching the float and the elation when catching fish also made my pulse rate rise. The weather was nice for

Confused
Hi, at a recent lung function test i had a two part test, a before and after ventolin test, well the outcome of it was that ventolin made no difference to the readings, but at a later appointment for the results of the test, my respitory nurse said she wasn't going to remove the ventolin from my script

Coping with boredom
Despite having an excellent couple of weeks while on holiday in Lanzarote I’ve now come home and my lungs are really not happy about the pollen! My peak flow has gone from 450 or so to 230 this morning so my maintenance prednisolone has gone back up to 40mg 😩 (although I had only managed to reduce

Another update pneumonia.
Just to bring you all up to speed. I went to the Drs on Thursday night and she said I still had the crackles in my left lung. She took a blood test there and then and sent me for an urgent X Ray which I had the next morning. I rang late afternoon to see if there was anything and they hadn’t even looked

Difficult Asthma since April.
Hi All. I have had asthma my whole life and as a teenager had bad attacks which would last a few days, mainly cold induced. Since I worked out I was allergic to house dust mites I have had 1 mild attack in the last 20 years. Thinks are different this year and I am really struggling. 1st week in April

Confused and feeling alone
I was told I had COPD about 10 years ago, I have lived a normal life maybe the odd really bad cough in winter but nothing that needed hospital treatment, since February 2017 I have gone down bank quickly, my legs and feet are that swollen I cannot get any shoes on, it hurts to walk, if I stand up and

1st Annual Review
I've just had my first annual review having been diagnosed last year with borderline mild COPD. As there has been no change at all and I'm a fit and healthy non smoker the nurse suggested that I could stop using the brown preventative inhaler but I can't help thinking maybe the inhaler has stopped the

Asthma flare not settling....
Hi all, I'm a (usually) well controlled asthmatic on Seretide 125 twice daily with very occasional use of ventolin. About a month ago after a week of camping/being outdoors, my asthma flared (tight chest, no wheeze or cough) and I was started on Pred 40mgs daily for 5 days. (only had x1 course of steroids

Pneumonia update.
Just to say I went to the Dr again yesterday. I’m waking up some mornings and have a job to take a deep enough breath for me to walk to the bathroom. I’ve practically fallen there hanging on to whatever I can on the way. It’s been quite scary. My ventolin helps after I’ve been to the bathroom but even

Hi all my name is Adam and have been asthmatic since I was 10 and I'm now 36.

So Confused by sudden worsening of Asthma
Hi, I've had Asthma as long as I can remember. But I've always gone through most of my life feeling like I haven't had it because it's been so mild that I haven't even needed a preventer inhaler... until 3 months ago. I remember being out with my friend and feeling suddenly wheezy. Now, bear in mind

Looking for AF advice - runner!
Hi! In the grand scheme of things, my experiences pale into near-nothingness compared to what so many of you are having to live with, however I am hoping that you might be able to offer some advice and support. I am 34, a smidge overweight (BMI of 30.9) and asthmatic. I have been running for 4-5 years

Inhalers and heart rate
Do you know if there is a short acting bronchodilator that doesn't increase heart rate? I need Ventolin (salbutamol) pretty often, but I hate the fact that it makes my heart beat fast. Any thoughts?

Rescue inhaler and Anxiety?
I have issues with panic attacks, and I have a Ventolin (albuterol) inhaler. I have very mild asthma. It says that being "jittery" is a side effect of using the inhaler. Does this mean it could trigger a panic attack if I use it?

Trouble loading symbicort turbohaler 😞
Hi all. I don't know if I am being a numpty, but I was prescribed symbicort a couple of days ago, but despite following the instructions about how to set the inhaler up it doesn't seem to have worked as the counter isn't counting down - sorry if I haven't explained myself well... I am bringing it in

Spirometry test.
Hi I've been to see the Asthma Nurse twice this month, first for a review, second for a spirometry test, so apparently she said I don't have Asthma , after being on Clenil 100, and Ventolin for 2 yrs when I was told I had late on set Asthma, I asked if I can stop taking the Inhalers then ,

Asthma playing up and forgot to refill prescription (not emergency).
I've had a busy week this week, including an interview and an exam. I forgot to refill my Fostair prescription. It was after my Friday night dose that it dawned on me that I had 6 puffs left and I take four a day. I decided to split them down to one puff twice a day in hopes of stretching it. I was a
