Recent resp. Appointment - new meds
Just wanted to update some of you on my recent app (should have been in April, thanks covid 🙄) So my blood test done in March showed my eosinophilic count had dropped to 0!!!! This is the best news ever! And the lowest it has ever been! And overall I’ve felt so much better during the shielding process

Asthma hit me out of the blue
Hello to everyone at A UK I joined Health Unlocked some time ago because I suffered from Polymyalgia Rheumatica and needed advice. It's a nasty auto immune condition that can be managed with steroids. I am one of the lucky people to make a recovery after 2 years. Now, I'm getting on happily with life

What next?
Hi all, Hope you are well in this COVID craziness. I have an appt with the Asthma clinic today. Ive has a terrible spring & summer; 5 rounds of steroids, using my nebuliser more than I ever have, averaging about 6-10 ventolin a week minimum. I tried uniphyllin but it made me horribly sick. My Oxygen

Breathing problems
Does anyone else suffer badly with breathing problems and wheeziness with hypothyroidism? I have had mild asthma but it’s always been under control, however lately I’m so short of breath and wheezy constantly. My peak flow is still 500-600 so I’m not sure i agree with my doctors when they keep telling

Irritated lungs / breathing passages
Anyone else having a sensation of irritation in the breathing system with Flecainide... had it for the last two or three months..difficult to get anyone to come up with an idea as my peak flow is well above the norm for my age, I row, run, cycle and walk without problem. My oxygen levels are always around

PF noise
When I do my peak flow and breathe out as hard as I can I always make a wheezing noise but I don't have any other symptoms. The results are always up and down but they never go under the green. Is it normal to have that noise? I never had it in the past.

Peak flow
Hello there Can I ask if there’s a way to get health professionals to take your symptoms seriously even if your peak flow is your best? Mine is at my best yet I’m SOB, yawning loads (stops if I use reliever), coughing and my breathing is noticeable to other family members. It’s definitely not anxiety

Feeling a bit down
I’m feeling a bit down and sorry for myself ...lol, do you ever have those days? I’m trying to fill out PIP form and you know when you’re writing your worst day scenario. Frustrated too cos I’m still struggling to breathe with the step up of my inhalers although my Peak flow is improving. I’m not bad

Just wanting to air my frustration really. For background - I have asthma (since childhood) now with small airways disease (last year spirometry showed obstruction in small airways and CT scan showed mucus plugging). I had a nasty haemaphilus infection in March (I have a persistent productive cough

Better at night?
Hi, I'm new here and was recently diagnosed with asthma. I had a Covid-like virus at the end of March before testing was available in the UK, with breathlessness and low-grade fever. The fever lasted 18 days and still comes back occasionally. My bloods and chest x-ray were clear, and I had a negative

Struggling with a new asthma diagnosis
Hi recently been diagnosed with asthma I got a peak flow meter today but I don’t know what I good peak flow actually is. I’ve got a blue inhaler and a pink steroid one. I’ve got a spacer.

I’m having a moan...
Hi all, I’ve been on Xolair since Jan/Feb and my asthma has been amazing! I literally got my life back and have been so happy (bar that of driving myself crazy shielding). On Friday evening and Saturday morning, I completely forgot to take 3 doses of antihistamines, 2 doses of Flutiform and a dose

Symptoms but high peak flow
Hiya, I'm still waiting to be diagnosed but due to Covid-19, I haven't been able to meet the asthma nurse again. They think I have allergy induced/seasonal asthma as my main triggers are aerosols, hay-fever and tomatoes (intolerant). They suggested I track my peak flow so they have good evidence when

Technical issue/query regarding spirometry calculations
Right, so. Bear with me, as it’s a fairly long read, and I don’t know that anyone will have any thoughts or suggestions anyway. I am going to speak to the physiologists again, who are as desperate to understand this as I am, but thought it’s worth a punt posting here all the same to see if any of the
