Slowly but surely.
Was just getting used to impared breathing due to the hot weather. When my on the phone review came up. So now, just finished four days steroids. 6 tablets every morning. Didn't have any real effect for two days and then felt a lot better but now struggling again. I suppose it's all those chores I had

CEV Criteria
Hello I know shielding is not really a thing at the moment but I was wondering if anyone knows what the criteria is to be considered CEV (Clinically Extremely Vulnerable) because of asthma? My asthma has deteriorated quite significantly over the last few months. I've not had to be hospitalised because

Puzzled by asthma symptoms and then no symptoms
Last year I suffered from symptoms that lead me to suspect late onset asthma. On several occasions I woke in the night with difficulty breathing. I was suffering from frequent coughing fits and on two terrifying occasions found my self gasping for breath after a short walk. Phone conversations with

Hot weather breathing difficulties.
I don't really understand why when it is really hot, that my copd. Is much more worse. Also not being an easily panicked person. I need my peak flow metre to tell me I am at 10 on the scale as opposed btobetween 250 and 400., A quick burst or two salbutamol and then some Foster I am alright for a bit

Chronic chest pain is making me crazy
Hello lovely people, I hope my cry for help is on the right forum. I've been having bad chest tightness and breathlessness for about 4 months now and it's progressive... Been calling my GP and going to a&e many times with chest x-ray, blood work, ECG results that were fine. No spirometer test as gp said

Intense Stabbing in centre of chest
Hi everyone, just wanted to say thank you I find this forum so helpful and reassuring that there are so many of us experience the same problems, not that makes it ok but knowing others have the same symptoms and issues helps me get through the days. I wonder if I can…. ask does anyone else have this

Long-term asthma recovery queries
Hi all, I suppose this is a general question about long-term asthma recovery, as this is uncharted territory for me. Or if it's even asthma-related. In May 2020, I had several asthma attacks, which heavily restricted my mobility for the remainder of the year. I used to go to the gym twice a week, play

Dr Andy post today about peak flow
Hi everyone If you're on the Asthma UK mailing list you may have got an email today from Dr Andy about using your Peak Flow to record symptoms. I find my PF doesn't really reduce when my asthma kicks off, but it is very informative and useful. But I would just add one thing and I don't know if anyone

Not every breathing symptom is asthma!
Tentatively posting this because it’s perhaps controversial on an asthma forum - but it is also really important. It’s often assumed that any breathing symptom is asthma - those who have asthma assume it’s that because they have asthma therefore it must be that; those who don’t have asthma assume they

Not sure what to do
Hi. This is a first time post. I've struggled to keep my asthma under control for 5 months, since my vaccine. I had a bad flare up 2 weeks ago. My doctor prescribed Prednisone 40mg for 5 days plus antibiotics. This didn't seem to help, and I returned to the surgery on Tuesday. Doctor said my chest is

Asthma ruining my life
I am afraid to play sports due to worrying about dying of asthma attack. I take regular meds fostair, montelukast… peak flow is 800 but when I play sports during summer months my breathing is worse. I get breathless doing light exercise I normally run 10k in under 45mins can’t run no more due to pollen

Chest pain*, spasm & tightness
*the pain is ongoing & is on breathing; so not a heart/emergency problem, just after advice! Hey- hope everyone is ok and hay fever ain’t causing too many issues. I’m having quite a few symptoms currently relating to the above. My chest goes tight, spasms as in all my lungs seize up like a fist 🤜🏻

Switch to MART fostair from seretide
Having been on seretide 250mg for a good few years, as well as added in spiriva respimat, fexofenadine, montelukast and nasal spray (recent change to dymista), have been switched onto fostair 100/6 MART. According to my plan, its 2 puffs twice daily, plus an extra 4 as and when. This change was made

I have found my Peak Flow readings = 580 in 2008, 550 in 2011, 550 in 2014, 550 in 2020. I think these are good readings = only mild asthma?
Nurse thinks my asthma is getting worse - I think it's steady & Mild?
