Query about shadow on my left lower lung
Hi, I had a chest x-ray and abdominal x-ray at the hospital on Sunday due to having abdominal pain which was diagnosed as gastritis. This morning, a consultant radiologist rang me and told me that they have seen a shadow in my lower left lung. They said it could be a number of things including infection

Uncontrolled Asthma, repeated asthma attacks every day. Do I have bronchiectasis?
I am 52, slim, fit, healthy and quite fit with a balanced healthy diet no milk but plenty of bio yoghurt. I supplement with vit c, vit D and probiotics daily. I have had asthma since 4yo, productive chesty cough for twenty five years, chest infections two to six times a year swiftly cleared by Amoxicillin

Asthma and Occupational health queries
Just looking for some advice. Only recently diagnosed with asthma (don’t know type etc yet) so still learning as my asthma nurse says lol. Hope everyone is doing ok. I have recently changed jobs and finding I am still quite breathless when walking up stairs and walking fast on the level. I tried my ventolin

Yet again I have had my salbutamol stopped without warning! I have half an inhaler which is supposed to last until mid March. There is no way it will last until then! I have had this stress from my surgery stopping my medication before. Making me have to present my case why this is dangerous for me

1st admission & trying to make sense of it all
What a 24hrs it has been! After worsening symptoms and trying to treat at home I ended up in a&e. I was met with the same you’re talking, no wheeze & o2 maintaining. Instead this time I was like no I don’t always wheeze! They actually listened to me ( which was surprising) so a senior dr came along and

Prednisolone side effects
Hi everyone I have asthma which has worsened since I was ill with suspected Covid at the end of November. I was on a 5 day course of 30mg of prednisolone which improved things and my breathing was basically back to normal after 2 weeks. I then caught a cold and since then have had very tight chest despite

Itchy lungs
This might sound a bit random but please bear with me! Has anyone ever experienced a feeling of their lungs feeling really irritable and like they are itchy/twitchy inside? I’ve been on pred for a week as my asthma was flaring and peak flow was dropping (the pred got it back into the green zone). Since

How to increase peak flow
Asthma is quite a new diagnosis for me (sept 2020). I was initially using Kehale (4 puffs morning 4 puffs evening), however couldn’t get my peak flow above 300. Asthma nurse then moved me onto fostair 100/6. I have 2 puffs morning, 2 puffs lunch and 2 puffs evening and my peak flow increased to 350 however

Covid vaccine
So today I was booked in to have my Covid vaccine- I’m CEV frontline NHS worker currently shielding. I swear my lungs knew that something important was happening, so perfectly timed they decided they need some attention! My peak flow was slowly heading in a downwards trend, and I woke up Thursday morning

When do I... 🤔🤔
Hi everyone. Another (hopefully quick) infomercial post, to (hopefully) clear up any uncertainties people have about when the should be doing certain things. So without further ado; WHEN DO I TAKE MY RELIEVER? When you’re symptomatic 😉. If you’re in a coughing fit (that feels asthma-ry), wheezing,

Asthma control post covid - are my expectations unrealistic?
I had covid in march. My previously well controlled asthma isn't anymore. I am currently on fostair 2 X 200 am and pm, braltus, montelukast, cetirazine, dymista and ventolin. I've had 4 short courses of pred since April and am now on a one month reducing course. I was referred to the local hospital

Asthma advice
Hi I had coronavirus mid October and subsequently had issues with my asthma - tight chest, breathlessness, a weird ruttle / flutter when I breathe. I've had my medication changed to 1 x fostair 100 in the morning and montelukast in the evening to clear the cough/mucus. My peak flow is still around 350

Covid and o2 sats
Tested positive for covid. Not been too good but I think I might be over the worst. We shall see. Cant get my oxygen sat levels above 92 but dont feel wheezy. But chest is heavy. Peak flow well down too, usually 400 now 284 or there about. Should I be talking to dr again. On oral steroids for one more

Swings in peak flow between pm to am
Hi! I’m just wondering if there was any reason for me have such swings in my peak flow between from morning to the night. So for eg in the morning it’s around 340 then at night it’s around 420 . I am more symptomatic in the morning & know it is normal for it to be lower in am to pm, but should it be
