Peak Flow Meters
I have a new peak flow meter, to EU standard. Does anyone know why mine registers differently to the one at my GP's. Hers is an EU one too but always registers about 40 points higher than mine (the highest reading I can achieve on mine is 280/300, and on hers 320/340). How do I know which one is accurate

Levels of control
Hey,So I'm feeling a bit confused about what 'controlled' asthma really means and wondered if you guys could help. Are there different grades of control you would expect to reach depending on the severity of your asthma? Or is there just one gold standard of control = no symptoms for the majority of

low peak flow
I was diagnosed with asthma in May this year, today I received a peak flow meterI tried it this evening and it was 130 before my inhalers and 160 after, this seems to be a little low, but I know my asthma is not well controlled due to it not being diagnosed for a long time, probably years. So is this

Persistant Asthma Symptoms
Hi Everyone, This is my 3rd week of having bad asthma symptoms and I am at my wits end!! I have been prescribed steroids and two lots of antibiotics, have been told to increase my seretide inhaler from 2 puffs per time to 4 puffs per time. I am still suffering, but, my peak flow has increased a bit.

Advice re getting GP to listen!
I have had minor asthma problems for many years which when neccessary I have used a blue inhaler - but very rarely. At the end of last year I had to visit London for work for a fortnight during which my asthma got much worse. i assumed it was linked to the extra pollution (I live in rural Suffolk)

Useful iphone apps
I know not everyone has access to an iPhone and it might be awhile before they are availible on prescription :-) but I've found the following app useful for recording peak flow, symptoms, triggers and inhaler usage. http://www.asthmamd.org/#resources/iphone_chart.jpg Also for keeping track of when

Nocturnal Asthma
As I am still on an unplanned holiday from work I am becoming more aware of my condition. Over the last few nights I have woken at my normal times 02:00 - 04:40 covered in perspiration. This time I have taken my peak flow to see what the result would be. It is around 16% lower than my average best

Vomiting!
