Hi Im new to this site. Seeking advise re asthma & anxiety
Back in 2014 my asthma was totally under control. The only time I needed ventolin was if I had a chest infection. In August I burnt myself out overdoing things and crashed. Numerous blood tests came back normal. My asthma symptoms slowly got worse and I started on 2 preventors. I tried to keep up with

Your Meds (Strong Recommendation)
Hi I have a 'strong' recommendation for you, but first an explanation. In addition to reading the Patient Information Leaflet, I've now taken to checking the Drugs.com Website for each Med I'm prescribed. As you may know, Drug Interactions, Incorrect Drug Doses, Patient Drug Errors, Wrongly Prescribed

Thank you :) (For everyone who helped on my most recent post)
I just wanted to thank everyone for all your responses and advice over the last few days - if nothing else it's kept my sanity in check!! ;) I can't figure out if posting this as a comment below my latest post would mean you'd all get to read it or not, so decided I'd start a new post - hope that's ok

Find Clenil and Serevent more effective than Fostair?
Hi, I have been trying (with the help of my asthma nurse) to find the right combination for me since December. My best weeks so far (hardly using my Ventolin) were when using 6 puffs a day of Clenil 100 and two puffs a day of Serevent. However when my nurse suggested that I start to slowly reduce my

Life long asthmatic, dating from the 1960s when asthmatics were often told by medics that it was psychosomatic! Needless to say, my asthma was badly controlled up to the early 1980s. I moved from home to a job, I had one of my usual asthma attacks and was finally taken to A&E (a first for me, even though

Breathing problems "in my head" - any advice?
Hi everyone, Just wanted to see if anyone has advice here as before when I've posted I got some pretty good advice and to be honest I'm out of ideas right now. Was recently told I don't have asthma, having been told by GP 3 years ago that's what I have. It was a resp doctor who told me it wasn't asthma

What to do next
I have had a chronic cough for a year. I visited my GP in November, and she ordered a chest xray and spirometry test, both normal. She prescribed ventolin, no effect. Then we tried medication for acid reflux and post nasel drip, no effect. My GP this week said that's it nothing else that can be done

Finally Managed to see the GP
So i finally managed to see the GP yesterday, with regards to the SOB issues and inhalers not helping, and of course that magic referral to Respiratory. He can't see why the ventolin isn't helping with breathlessness, so prescribed me another, but changed my steroid inhaler to Spiriva. No referral to

Has anyone seen GMB?
I've just been watching Good Morning Britain and there was a really sad story of a little girl who was sent home by her GP because she was a few minutes late to an emergency appointment and she died. It's ridiculous she was obviously needing to be seen A couple of weeks ago I went to the GP after

Disturbed night
I had a dreadful night last night, chest kept tightening i was breathless, so uncomfortable couldnt sleep. I’ve been taking spiriva for about a month but dont seem any better, and its difficult to stay calm so then my pulse races. I used my ventolin inhaler every hour which only helped a little. I thought

Does anyone else not use their actual best Peak Flow?
I lost my peak flow from years ago (which I only know was well above predicted because the nurse erroneously told me I didn't have asthma). So, at my new surgery I stopped avoiding reviews and my PEF was 420, though I'd taken near maximum ventolin. Anyway, a few weeks later I scored 440 but none of my

Wondering what age people on here were when they were diagnosed with Asthma? Also, did anyone develop Asthma as a direct result from smoking
I would be really grateful to hear everyone’s comments to my question. I’m 41 and have recently been very wheezy, mainly at night and in the mornings. Very breathless with some mild chest and back aching. I’ve been prescribed the steroid and ventolin inhalers. Waiting for further tests to confirm I have

Glaxo Wellcome UK has recalled 3 lots of inhalers
If you live with asthma and use inhalers, you need your inhaler to work as it should. We want you to know that Glaxo Wellcome UK has recalled 3 lots of inhalers in the UK because a few of them may not deliver the full number of doses. The medicine in the inhalers has not been affected. So don’t
