Been on seritide, spiriva, and ventolin for five years under two different specialists. My new specialist has taken me off all three stating they could be harming me and put me on ultibro breezhaler only. I have copd exstensive emphesema . All this was done with a letter to my gp. ???

My sister
My sister is having trouble with her breathing. Might be the weather. She has been given a new inhaler along with her ventolin and fostair. She also takes uniphyllin tablets. Not wheezing just can't breathe. Can't do anything.

I was doing so much better until it got really hot again and my asthma is again really bad. I am currently on 10mg of pred as I taper over a month (please no pred

I know I struggle a little when it's really hot weather, feel a bit like I'm suffocating because their is no air but tonight I really struggled. Had found it a little stifling all day due to

What should I do?
I saw the gp this morning as for the last couple of days my asthma symptoms have been getting worse. I've been using ventolin every day, waking during the night, having tight chest and feeling wheezy but can't hear anything if that makes sense? Also coughing when I do any exercise etc. My peak flow

Inhalers!
There is a history of asthma n my family and like my mother I started suffering around the age of 50. I have a nasal drip and excessive mucus. I'm allergic to cats and pollen to some extent. After a long bout of chest pain although spit as clear and not infected my doctor has put me back on Ventolin,

Since being diagnosed with the copd devil lol in January I have been using Incruse inhaler it was a powder form one . It seemed to be fine until my last script I felt the powder crumbling in my mouth and throat sticking to it. I was also using my ventolin much more when using Incruse. I went to my nurse

Spirometry and Fit to Fly Test
Went yesterday for above tests. 40% reversability with ventolin Fev1 in 2014 = 1.07, 2015 = 1.21, 2017 = 1.11 all a bit of a mystery to me :-) DLCO 2014 = 46%, 2015 = 51%, 1017 = 50% of predicted Fit to fly showed a drop from 93% on room air to 71% on airline mix and back to 91% on airline plus supplemental

Going downhill again 😔
I'm currently on holiday in Gran Canaria. My peak flow is 270 and normally 450. I'm not sure if I have a chest infection again or not. I'm trying to hold it out until I get back to the UK on Thursday. I have been given a rescue pack of Prednisolone from my consultant which I started yesterday. So another

Just diagnosed.
Hi there I was diagnosed with Asthma on Wednesday . I had had flu and a chest infection 5 weeks ago that had left me with a cough, by the time I went to the Doctors I couldn't breathe, walk and talk all at the same time. My peak flow reading was 230 which went up to 360 after some Ventolin and a 20 minute

I take 4 inhalers, Fostair 200/6, Spiriva Reptimist and Ventolin with a Fluticasone Nasal spray. My asthma nurses have advised a nebuliser for emergency use but NHS no longer fund. Does anyone else find these expensive

First post here! Looking for a bit of advice
Hi :) Sorry for the lengthy post, in advance! Just looking for a bit of advice about my uncontrolled asthma...any opinions or similar stories would be greatly appreciated. I've suffered from allergic asthma (dust) for the past three years, and have seen countless doctors and specialists, only to benefit

Trying to find an inhaler that doesn't have bad side effects.
Hi all, can you tell me why my doctor and respiratory nurse is trying to get me on combination inhalers. I am in the very early stages of COPD. I have been on Ventolin for about a year, only when I get short of breath. Some days I don't need it at all. Just after New year I got a bad chest infection

Update since last one when sleep was being murdered...
Since I last posted about a month ago, I've been moved to Fostair and I'm loving it. For the first time in 6 months I can breathe. More, if I do get breathing probs, I reach for Fostair first (am on 2 puffs am and 2 pm and up to 4 extra in a day) and within 10 - 15 minutes I am breathing *and I stay

A keen gardener, diagnosed with aspergillosis
I am an 80 year old lady, new to this site but not to the British Lung Foundation. A life long asthmatic, I was also diagnosed with COPD. However, this diagnosis has recently been changed to bronchiectasis/asthma, with allergic broncho pulmonary aspergillosis. I am used to living with breathing
