Pulmonary fibrosis
I have a oxygen concentrator which helps a bit, but the thing I would love here about is I only have
Ventolin
and I seem to cough so much after taking it I'm wondering how if effects other people. The hospital said steroid inhalers will not help much, so I just plod on struggling through the day.

Help would be much appreciated regarding getting diagnosis for coughing and wheezing.
I have had a cough for the past year and a half nearly but was only a problem initially after exercise when I would cough and get wheezy, I went to the doctor and he suggested it could be adult onset asthma and gave me a
ventolin
inhaler and said if it helps continue to use and I don't need to see him

That'll learn me!
Took a lot of
ventolin
but I can now speak and my sats are now fine. I haven't done a peak flow because it would set me off again. If I'm not sorted in another half hour I'll have a neb, and if that still doesn't fix it I'll give myself a hydrocortisone injection.

When to start steroids?
Symptoms have been getting worse over last few days, not coping with heat, wheezy when I walk around an need lots more
ventolin
if I have to go outside. I have prednisolone at home, just wondering what the usual criteria is for starting it?

A Strategy for Dealing With Stress
Take your rescue drugs (for me
Ventolin
and Atrovent). Start pursed lips breathing (most 'old hands' will do this automatically). Concentrate on blowing out more air than you breathe in. If you have a pulse/oximeter, use it.

What to say to kids when they see you flare
Two puffs of
ventolin
calmed it but after I was back to breathing like a normal human being, the oldest told me that it was really scary seeing me struggle. It upset me to see him worried for me. I told him that it was a lot scarier on the outside than it felt on the inside.

Week 4 Run 2 plus extra characters - who did the feedback on this?
I'm thinking I might repeat W4 - doing it on 3 doses of
ventolin
seems a bit like doing it on crutches. Aaargh, they've 'improved' the site. That'll probably go like most improvements then.

Mold and damp
I am on the symbicort inhaler three times a day and
ventolin
when required and am at the moment on weekly reviews with the asthma nurse and waiting referral to the chest clinic. I think this is a bit of a vent at feeling so much like a lab rat!!!

Can asthmatics who have neither smoked nor been passive smokers contract COPD?
I have been coping with asthma since childhood using epinephrine and
ventolin
tablets. Turning 60 years,
ventolin
and steroid inhalers as well as prednisolone tablets are not giving me long term relief. Yesterday I was put on SPIRIVA, implicating COPD?

My chest has been feeling a little bit tight/heavy most of the day so have been taking
ventolin
to ease it, but thought I was ok really breathing wise until I got home from work and looked in the mirror and saw that I was using accessory muscles and sucking in at neck/shoulders.

W3R2
And I didn't need
ventolin
during the run at all - that's a very real hurdle got over, even if it is mostly psychological. Actually I think I was too occupied thinking my legs were going to stop working to think about my inhaler. This is progress.

Are you an Asthmatic runner? Post your tips here to help others please
Doctor's instructions for me is take two puffs of my
Ventolin
before I go for a run, also to carry it with me. Common sense perhaps but its not a bad thing to be reminded to carry it. 2.

Ventolin/salbutamol reliever nearly expired
The ""new"" (i.e. unused) inhaler is the same kind (blue
Ventolin
Evohaler of 100 micrograms salbutamol sulphate) was prescribed in December 2011 and is stamped to expire in June 2013. Is it still OK to use? When they expire do they just lose their effectiveness or are they actually harmful?

Update - having hard time with taper, doctors
I then project the ""what if"" anxiety back onto the ever falling peak flow and see in it something worrisome rather than simply a problem to be solved with
ventolin
.

It has all come at once!
Well 8 months ago I didn't even take a paracetamol unless I was in absolute agony, now I am on seretide, spiriva,
ventolin
, low dose aspirin, cholesterol tablets and champix! What a difference in such a short space of time.

I am so scared that this is it
As well as her four prescribed nebulisers a day, of
ventolin
and respontin, she has been having extra
ventolin
nebs. The matron, who came on Friday, said the extra
ventolin
was fine and as she was wheezy upped her steroids to 30mg.

Odd episode
After a while I relaxed enough to be able to speak but I hadn't had any
ventolin
because I thought I was just upset. After a little while my chest still felt tight, so I had a couple of puffs of
ventolin
and it eased off a bit.
