Hi everyone, I am new to this and was wondering if anyone could tell me the difference between copd and bronchiectasis. Thank you.
I am new to all this but have posted one silly question before (with hindsight). I have read and learned a lot from all of you, but what has struck me the most is the genuine kindness and caring that shines through. I have looked up copd and bronchiectasis but it confuses me more! I have had asthma for

Hi, I'm new to the forum and have a question. My asthma is relatively mild, and I only really tend to struggle during exercise and when I have an infection/cold. I was diagnosed 2 years ago and was on Ventolin with a clenil preventor inhaler until October 2013, when I had my first bad attack and ended

Poor care at GP practice
I saw a consultant this week and gathered from her reaction that the asthma care at my GP practice is really poor. From what I read on AUK website it is rather common, unfortunately, but I'm curious as to how others have dealt with this and what their experiences were. The nurse that was assigned to

Abnormal chest tightness
I just wondered how other peoples chest tightness in relation to asthma manifests itself? I usually find that the front of my chest gets tight, as though someone is sat on my chest, but recently I've found that I'm getting tightness across the back too, almost like my back muscles are knotted and i

does anyone know where to buy the medication for a nebuliser (ventolin) as it is my GP's policy not to allow patients a home nebuliser. ?
I have had asthma for around 10 years and use seretide and ventolin accuhalers. I have now been started on Spiriva, but feel I would benefit from a nebuliser, but I cannot find the medication on line. Can anyone help? Thanks.

New here -consultant referal - what can I expect?
Hi all, I'm new here. Thought I'd sign up and ask a few things since I've been lurking the forum quite a lot over the past weeks and it's been very useful. I was diagnosed about five years ago by a respiratory consultant I was refered to due to anaphylaxis/general allergy issues (no allergy specialists
