Ventolin and the heart pounding
It seems to my day to post. I had to take Ventolin this morning. My earlier post has some background on this. I rarely take Ventolin these days. I was about to phone 111 this morning when I thought I should take Ventolin before making demands for prednisolone. I took two puffs of Ventolin and went back

Something still not right…. Advice anyone? 🙏🏽
Hi there, I’m a 49 year old lifelong asthmatic. Very well controlled with Montelulast and Singulair 200. Never use ventolin. BUT when I get a cold, cough, Covid it sets me in a downward spiral. This is where I am at the moment. Ventolin is used daily. Had a cold toward end of Nov which went to my chest

Asthma attack in woodland - could it be leaf mould?
Hi, Hope you’re all well and enjoyed Xmas and new year. I’ve just experienced an asthma attack that went on and on, while walking my dog in the woods. I had to repeatedly take ventolin until I managed to get out of the woods (got lost while in there!🙄). The air was very cold and I didn’t think to

Feeling hopeless
Hello everyone, first post. I've had asthma since a child and I'm 43 now but only used a blue inhalor up till earlier this year. Now it's out of control if it is even asthma I'm not so sure anymore since the none of the meds seem to work and in fact some seem to make it worse and my peak flow goes down

Antihistamines for Post Covid Symptoms?
Hi, a few weeks ago I tested positive for Covid… It caused an asthma flare but my Fostair and Ventolin along with a course of Dexomethasone steroids seemed to have kept it manageable… Although the actual illness passed very quickly (temp, awful throat, horrible barking coughing fits) I have been left

Using an Expired Ventolin inhaler
A friend just gave me an unused Ventolin inhaler. A doctor friend of her’s claimed that it’s safe for me to use, even though it expired in 2018. Appreciate any replies🙂

Inhalers- and value for money?
Some years ago I was advised , that in order to check the contents of my inhaler I should remove the pressurised phial from the applicator and suspend the phial in a tall glass of water. If it sinks ,the indications are there is medicine present and if it floats there is probably little or no medicine

Luforbec.
Has anybody been given Luforbec and had problems with it? I was put on it and ended up with Aspergillosis again. It took seven weeks and steroid in the end to get over it. My Consultant put me on two puffs of Fostair twice a day. He said I could cut down after a while but I found I was beginning to cough

Post Covid Queries!
Hi! I tested positive for Covid 2 weeks ago… it’s caused an asthma flare but luckily I got prescribed steroids for a week which, along with my Fostair and Ventolin inhalers, kept things stable enough for me to stay home. My GP signed me off for a further week after my 1st week of self certifying, however

Bronchiectasis and use Pulmicort with tooth issues.
Hello, I have Bronchiectasis and use Pulmicort. I cannot do this at the moment due to a temporary filling. Will be in until after Christmas. Worried the force may pop it out when nothing open. I have fragile teeth. Had to stop using my Acapella. Therefore switched to upping my breathing exercises

Five year old non stop dry cough
I'm at the end of my tether. Our five year old has had 7 asthma "flares" since starting school in September. The asthma nurse tells us we have to manage these with ventolin. They last three to four days, he coughs absolutely non stop, gets out of breath talking and doesn't sleep. They refuse to prescribe

How To Tell If Ventolin Inhaler Is Running Out?
Hi! So I have been diagnosed with Asthma for the last few years, my main trigger is pollen/hay fever… I have been very well controlled since switching from the brown Clenil to the pink Fostair 100/6… however I have contracted Covid, which has triggered an Asthma flare (currently on Steroids which seem

Chest infection confusion
Hey everyone. So this has happened twice now with similar sets of symptoms. Recent symptoms: Basically severely reduced peak flow (150 during the attacks, max is 470, about 250/280 now, so I'm well into amber still), been in and out of hospital the last few days with asthma attacks, increased work

Asthma and Covid Experiences Please!
Hi, so after feeling pretty rubbish yesterday with a sore throat, spiking temp and barking sounding cough, today I have tested positive for Covid on a lateral flow after avoiding the damn thing for 3 years! I have asthma, so am understandably worrying! I am waiting for a call back from GPs as my peak

Refusal to give nebuliser at A & E. Has anyone else experienced this?
I had the misfortune to have to attend A&E with an asthma attack. I feel very let down and wonder why I bothered. I had just visited a relative in hospital when it happened. I gave myself 10 puffs of ventolin in a spacer and when no improvement set off walking very slowly, the relatively short distance

Asthma symptoms since chest infection
I had a chest infection 6 weeks ago, and every since I seem to be having a lot of trouble with my asthma. Before the infection I was very well controlled on my preventer (fostair) and not needed my ventolin since February. After 2 courses of oral steriods it seemed to improve but not fantastic, still
