Hyperventilation syndrome
Hello all, it has been a while, I want to share this information with you as it has literally saved me. I have had asthma since childhood, now I have it chronically as an adult, for several years it was managed with my flixotide inhaler and only rarely needing ventolin until the end of last year. Suddenly

Do we have to isolate or not?
Some actual concrete advice from Asthma UK would be great! I’ve looked on the NHS website and it says if you have severe asthma. Well that’s open to interpretation as I got told they don’t use the term brittle asthma anymore, they call it severe, so is mine severe or not? Luckily my peak flow only ever

Noisy breathing
Hello, When ever I have an asthma attack I have very noisy breathing when I inhale, which I thought was a wheeze however the drs always say my chest is clear with no wheeze. The only time they seem to hear a wheeze is when my peak flow drops by 50%. The noise I make always disappears after a nebuliser

Fostair- benefits and side effects
Hi All I was put on Fostair a few months ago - fine for about 6 weeks then feeling worse again. A few days ago (during my current flare up - worst yet and first A&E trip - joy) I have been told to double it to 2 puffs four times a day. I have been doing this and although my peak flow is coming up a

Hope 680 here.
Hope 680 here. I take Sertide 125 x2 puffs daily. I just wondering if Sertide 125 can be increased . I have had a flare up of my asthma but my peak flow measure is sitting at 340/350 which is normal for me over the past few weeks. My oxygen levels are sitting at 99% when I got checked out at hospital

Anyone been diagnosed with asthma that's been under the NICE guideline thresholds?
I'm curious to know if anyone has been diagnosed with asthma that hasn't quite hit the NICE guidelines thresholds? They are currently Fev1/fvc ratio <0.7 (<70%) Reversibility of 12% or more and 200ml Peak flow variability 20% Feno 40ppb I'm currently under investigation and I'm Fev1/Feb 0.68 Reversibility

Inhalers
Don’t know ifI have asked this question but how do you get round increased heart rate after using inhalers. I was told by nurse to use it everyday as my peak flow had gone down. Used it for two weeks but it’s unnerving when heart rate jumps up and takes time to go back down. I believe they can cause

Any advice welcome
I’ve been diagnosed with adult onset asthma a four years ago. I’m 54. Diagnosed after a respiratory tract infection- no spiromtry or other tests I’ve read about on here. For the first couple of years I didn’t have symptoms most of the time- only when I had a cold. I could go without Clenil or Ventolin

Change in Peak Flow Readings
I take my peak flow readings 3 times a day and record the best of the 3 blows. The reading first thing in the morning is always the lowest which I believe is expected however has dropped progressively from 560 to 495. My peak reading for the day as also dropped slightly from an average of 600 to 575.

Inhalers to be reduced!!!
Just returned from Annual asthma review- slightly confused.!! I am an Elite Master competitive swimmer 59 yrs and clock some 36km per week. I've been informed that my usage of Salamol and Clenil apparently are being looked at. !!! My explanation regarding the necessity to use them prior to training

Increase in symptoms but peak flow normal?
Sorry for this long thread but I need some advice, I will also be sending a similar email to my specialist hoping she can help me out too. So at my last visit I was pursuaded to give fostair another go for my eosinophilic asthma as symbicort is not bringing the eosinophilic down enough. (Never got on

Hospital admission bad asthma with no wheeze
Went to A&E this morning after a terrible night. Went in with a really tight chest unable to speak or get air in or out properly. Was expecting problems as no wheeze. But to my surprise the doctor looking after me could see I was struggling and not responding well to Salbutamol nebs. ITU was mentioned

Hi, I was diagnosed with Asthma nearly 2 years ago, and today had my annual review. Very positive on the whole, good control, good inhaler technique and my personal best peak flow has improved.. however she has advised me to be particularly vigilant this hay fever season (my biggest trigger), as I'm

Review
Just got back from seeing the nurse for a review. Why is it every time I get through their doors it starts heart beating too fast. When she took my blood pressure was really high. 170/98 that’s way high for me usually I was borderline 5 years ago so I think I need something got to go back next week

Chronic wheeze but no asthma?
Hi all, Aware this might not be strictly relevant to this forum but I’ve posted before and got some really helpful advice so I thought I’d give it a try - I wonder if anyone has had any similar experiences to mine below: - always had a reactive wheeze to dust. If I took an antihistamine the wheeze went
