Peak flow readings
Good morning all. I’ve recently been diagnosed with Heart Failure and I’ve been asked to use a peak flow meter to check my lungs. Over the last week my average is around 575 (I’m a 6ft - 68 years old- male). I think this is ok and shows my breathlessness is caused by my Heart Failure. My question is

Almost a year and still no diagnosis, don't know what to do
Last year I started to have bouts of breathlessness which I've never had before (27m) this stemmed into coughing up sticky pale yellow strings or chunks, as gross as it sounds, since then I undertook a peak flow test, I took home a device, which was inconsistent, I was given both types of inhaler with

Does anyone use a peak flow meter
I’m completely baffled. I had an Echocardiogram 2 weeks ago. Had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair 18 months ago. Last September getting more & more breathless and dizzy. Appointment with cardiologist cancelled in January. Collapsed in March. Hospital for 3 days - discharged with Heart Failure

Nighttime asthma
Hi, only recently diagnosed after 5 years of on off symptoms where my GP said was anxiety. Got fed up and paid for private assessment. Had dye injected CT, full lung function tests and examined by specialist. Had lung function tests about 8 weeks after starting beclamecasone. Exceeded average on it

If it is not asthma, could there be something wrong with my lungs? 🤔🤔
Hi. What is your opinion on this? Do you think I have Asthma or something else (perhaps a lung problem)? 🙂 I'm 19 years old and have been significantly out of breath always, from the age of 6/7. It was not until I was about 15, that I was officially diagnosed with asthma by the gp after I had an asthma

Singer with Severe/Brittle Asthma (non-allergic)
Hey everyone, 24 yr old female here. I'm currently on 184/22 Relvar Ellipta and Salbutamol after trying every other inhaler available. They didn't work and made it even worse; Relvar now works but the GP says it's the strongest medication they have that works for non-allergic asthma. My triggers are:

Immunological Markers
Hi all, I've received a confusing letter after my last frustrating consultant appointment. The consultant states that my Immunological Markers show that I don't need to be on high dose steroids. What markers are these? The only blood tests I've had done whilst in this flare was when I was also on pred

STEROID LENGHT
Hi All, just looking for some advise and other people’s experiences. I was diagnosed with asthma in January 2019 at at 54 after a bout of pneumonia. I’ve managed it very well over the past 2 years using antihistamine, Relvar Elipta and Montelukast. I became so well that I stopped taking the montelukast

Arythmia/irregular heartbeat and peak flow
Has anyone had arythmia? I think mine is being brought on by the fostair. Also a symptom of arythmia (irregular heartbeat) can be breathless and fatigue. Would your peak flow still drop if your breathlessness was a heart issue and not an asthma issue. I’ve been saying my asthma has changed this last

Late asthma diagnosis + regular low peak flow
Hi all, hope you are well. I was diagnosed with asthma last year just after the pandemic kicked off, as such it's been quite an isolating experience getting support. It started off with me getting chest tightness, in particular at night, as well as wheezing. Was given blue inhaler over phone by GP not

Change in asthma
Hi, my asthma was under control under my previous meds for the first time in years until I was very poorly with a virus in Nov 2019 and it has worsened since. I have just changed my steroid inhaler to see if this helps but I am still having a episodes which are really new to me. Basically, they occur

My wife says that I have a lot of ASTHMA TOYS
My wonderful wife who looks after me and knows all of my asthma symptoms and how to cope with them says I HAVE TOO MANY TOYS FOR MY ASTHMA {Even though they all help me with my problems related to my lungs etc.} I am a bit of a gadget freak. I use my spacer for my inhalers. I have watch {Not an apple
