Asthma triggered by ibuprofen?
Yesterday I had a very large hip labral tear repaired. My resps apparently went so low with Fentanyl I wasn’t allowed any more. Apparently that is 10 resps per min. At 8 they have to breath for you. Anyway I am undergoing a raft of tests at the moment as the GP thinks no wheeze and a normal peak flow

Puzzled - stepping up preventer medicine when symptoms come on so quickly
I was diagnosed at age 60 close to 6 years ago after a series of winter illnesses left me breathless and with a constant cough. My asthma was well controlled after a number of weeks on Clenil Modulite. Then a GP suggested I step down to 1 puff twice a day from 2. All was well until I got a chest infection

Specialist appointment - after 15 months
So finally got my specialist appointment for a consultant that I was with previously waiting since last August. I was waiting so long I went to see him private and because I have involved in a study he said he wouldn't change anything with my inhalers until he was seeing as a public patient in the hospital

Asthma Novice at 32
Hi folks, so I was diagnosed with 'mild asthma' as a late teen. Got the little white inhaler and a few days if be fine. I then had it return 5 years ago at 27 when pregnant and got a blue inhaler. Can you tell I'm a proper novice? Figured I'd grown out of it as I've had no issues since... Until 3 weeks

Awaiting diagnosis for asthma...peak flow 350...36 yr old female
Hi all, So I am awaiting my spirometry referral. I am 36 and have had symptoms for years but just thought I was someone quite unfit despite walking a lot or my anxiety was causing my breathlessness sometimes. I decided to go to the GP after recent allergy tests (I do not have any allergies but

Wheezy but ok
Hi, still awaiting my actual diagnosis but I have a question. I'm on brown inhaler and have blue one too. Last few days I've had cold but I've also noticed I get wheezy about the same time every evening. My peak flow readings aren't bad and I don't feel bad. I took my blue inhaler but it had no effect

Stuck in asthma limbo
Hi all. I’ve come here to have a little moan/rant about being stuck in that phase of asthma where you’re not bad enough to go to hospital but are definitely not ‘well’ in the sense of feeling good and being able to do normal things. Since having a cold-induced flare up about four weeks ago I’ve been

Tight Chest struggling!
Hi Can anyone please help me with this? I would be really grateful for any help or advice. I am on the highest dose of steroid inhaler. I have been taking this for a couple of years now and been relatively ok! For the past 2 weeks I have been struggling to breath and have a very tight chest. Initially

Feeling low
Hi. Just wanting to share my thoughts with people who might understand, although I realise my problems are nothing compared to many here and I’m probably just making a fuss about nothing. Apologies for the long post. For background info, I’m 46 and have had asthma since a toddler. Started having more

I'M NEW HERE AND ON PREDNISOLONE FOR A YEAR FOR GCA
Since being diagnosed last October with GCA and prescribed Prednisolone, I've had breathing difficulties and fluid retention for which I am being treated but not very successfully - are the two connected? Does any other member have these difficulties. I've Googled and while there is no established evidence

Peak flow and trial of treatment
Hi I’m new here, just looking for some thoughts and advice... Back in spring I had a virus, just a cold really, and ended up with a cough/throat tightness which lasted around 6 weeks. Meantime I received an appt for a shoulder Xray due to a muscular issue. X-ray came back fine but I was subsequently

Peak Flow
Hi All, I've just discovered that my peak flow is 250. Do I need to be alarmed or is this quite normal with COPD?

Peak Flow reading slowly dropping
