Peak flow and COVID
Has anyone experienced a drop in peak flow with COVID? My peak flows have been within 8% of my personal best of 660 (predicted 640) for 3 weeks without asthma medication. Last Thursday, I noticed my peak flow had reduced to 570 which is a 15% drop and I had cold symptoms. By Monday, I tested positve

Hyperinflation/asthma
A recent X-Ray reveals that my lungs are hyperinflated which may be a factor in extreme breathlessness and low peak flow (40) diagnosed as chronic asthma. Does anyone have experience of hyperinflation and its treatment?

Chronic allergic asthma restricting breathing at all times.
Hello everyone, any exercise or activity such as a shower severely impairs my breathing. This has worsened considerably over the past yearI manage this at home by resting between activities and TaiChi breathing. Outside I can walk slowly when accompanied but tend to feel panicky when alone. In a shop

Hi. Do any of you wake up first thing in the morning with tight throat muscles? Is this associated with asthma?

Wine
Does drinking wine affect your COPD? As yet I have no diagnosis due to Covid- although from what I read and my peak flow results I’m pretty sure I have unfortunately- I find I cough up more mucus during the night and I am more wheezy too . I have already given up red wine but I am finding that even

Newly diagnosed with asthma - need help!
I have been suffering with breathing difficulties for 2 years, following a severe chest infection. My breathing never got back to normal. I've tried to get help from the GP several times, but was told for the first year that 'it takes time to recover from chest infections' and in the second year that

Peak flow readings
Hi , my gp requested 2 weeks of peak flow readings (since having a pacemaker then becoming seriously unwell with pericarditis and an effusion this time last year) I get out of breath on exertion , my cardiologist has assured me there’s nothing cardiac causing my breathlessness so gp is thinking possible

Peake flow personal best
Hey guys, Just wanted to know how often people adjust their personal best peak flow? Mine is currently set at 500 but I've been done at 85% of that for at least a month now. Just want to get an idea of everybody else's timings.

Peak Flow reading too high?
I'm currently being tested for asthma as I've been coughing for 3 months straight and having problems with breath in the cold. I've been told to use a peak flow meter twice a day, the reading I got was around 550 in the doctors and this is around my expected value. However, since getting a Medi Standard

Pulmicort turbohaler
I was prescribed a Pulmicort turbohaler last week by my gp after sending two weeks of peak flow readings. When you use it can you taste anything as I don’t know whether I’m actually using it properly , I have an appointment with the asthma nurse Friday but just thought I’d ask on here . Thank you x
