Asthma symtoms and further test denied
Hi all, this is the first time I post here. I want to share my first experience with (Asthma?) symptoms. Since one year I started to experience episodes of breathless mainly at work, cought and sudden awakenings in the night with suffocation feeling. I always thought it was for anxiety and stress. But

Couple days ago I took two Antihistimine tabs as a last resort, low and behold they did the biz. breathing great no prob. Didn’t bother following on, back wheezing

Hi all, My 9 year old son has had a cough for 3 or so months, it’s a dry cough and he only coughs once but happens every hour or so and sometimes more if he’s talking a lot, it doesn’t bother him at night or when he’s exercising and his chest is clear with no wheeze. I have severe asthma so at the back

Wheezing and peak flow
Does anyone get the same comments: you’re not wheezing so that’s good...... Also I’m getting different advice from each practioner I see about my peak flow and whether it’s acceptable— I know what they class as acceptable is an asthma attack for me !

Being proactive or just plain gobby
Back in October 2019 I started all the signs of a flare up. I suffer from bronchiectasis and bronchiolitis obliterans. Suddenly my chest hurt, mucus became thicker than usual and was a real effort to budge. I checked my oxygen level, down to 88 and peak flow was 100. (normal 94/96 and 120) So got

Frothy mucous?
Hi all! There are so many knowledgeable people on here that I thought I'd put my question to you. I have COPD, asthma and bronchiectasis. I get more good days than bad days, thankfully, and have only had two chest infections since July 2019, the last one being in September. I'm now noticing that I have

Scared of taking prednisolone
I’ve never taken steriods before and I’m terrified of taking them (had bad reaction to tablets once and it’s scared me) Asthma is normally controlled and only causes problems with triggers or colds etc. Started with a cold 7 days ago and it gave me a bad cough and wheezing. Peak flow was down from 500

Peak flow averages question.
Saw nurse this morning who told me she doesn't think I have asthma because although the preventer inhaler I was given has made my peak flows go up I get symptoms when my peak flow is above the average for my age height weight etc (450) and I don't feel I'm my normal self until I'm like 470-500. See

Lesson learnt
After 7 day course of prednisolone, rang asthma UK helpline for advice on day 7 as I wasn't completely better. Advised to contact my doctors late afternoon after 5pm and explain my situation. Requested for the duty doctor to ring me. I spoke to the doctor who went through my history and was advised to

The weird thing is i have great peak flow (better than ever) but i still have shortness of breath, it feels like something's

Asthmatic and Fed Up!
I am 19 and at university and thoroughly fed up with asthma. I had asthma as a child (not very badly) and used an inhaler occasionally. I had glandular fever in summer of 2018 and since then all hell has ensued. Last Christmas I had multiple asthma attacks being taken into hospital. I had high dose

Are Prednisolone steroids bad when you have Hashis ?
Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. I’ve had a nasty cough and went doctors thinking I’d get antibiotics but he said it was a virus and because my asthma had gotten worse ( peak flow dropped a bit) I should take a short course of steroids (prednisolone 5 mg ..6 a day for 5 days). I read that they

When is the best time for peak flow measurement?
I think I’ve asked this question before but I would be grateful for clarification. I usually take a peak flow reading before my combo inhaler and about 1 hour after. Last night I was at 76% which increased to 89% post combo inhaler (no other meds taken). Which reading is the best one to judge how well

chest tightness
I am new so hello. I have been living with asthma since last January. Late in life diagnosis.

Sorry if this has been asked before. Does anyone suffer from recurrent chest infections?
At the moment I seem to be getting chest infections every 2 weeks- a month and am getting pretty fed up. I have been told I don’t have asthma or a lung condition as even though my peak flow is low it’s because I’m in a wheelchair! Even though I’m a full time athlete. I keep getting very short of breath

Question about GERD and asthma?
So I'm still not sure if I have asthma or not. But the basic of the story is after several infections etc I may or may not have asthma, see asthma nurse next week to go over peak flow. In the meantime while I am suffering yet another infection, one if the lovely ladies on my yard asked if doc had spoken
