Medication Review
Only I could go for a medication review (my gp surhery insists on them every 12 month's) and get a call back from the gp I saw less than an hour later for a chest xray and spirometory with the asthma nurse All because I mentioned my peak flow was dropping and i suspected it's because of the changing

Breathing worse after quitting smoking update.
Morning All. I had great support after stopping smoking 4 months ago from this forum so I thought that I would stop by and give an update which may help others. After stopping smoking my breathing actually started to get worse. It was like I couldn’t take a full breath in and my chest felt tight. My

Cold and flu season
Hi everyone. As cold and flu season approaches here in UK I would appreciate any advice as to what to do if you get a cold etc? I'm new to asthma so I'm not sure - should I visit the doctor at the first sign of a cold or just increase my preventative inhaler? I use my preventative inhaler as my relief

Can’t shake off tight chest feeling despite good peak flow / inhaler use
Mystery catalysts to chest tightness... I’m 32 and I’ve had asthma most of my life. I smoked in my teens to mid 20s and didn’t look after myself (in terms of prevention/inhalers). Since moving to London a few years ago my asthma has exacerbated. I now look after myself - exercise where possible,use

Intrinsic asthma and non allergic rhinistis.
I have horrible rhinistis to the point I'm mouth breathing most of the time and I've been prescribed avamys which didn't work and now dymista which makes me feel ill and unblocks my nose very little, my asthma feels worse with this, I take symbicort twice a day. yet peak flow is always 550, does anyone

Should I take prednisolone?
I've been struggling and off work since Wednesday. Used rescue inhaler several times on Wed. Peak flow was 300 (best is supposed to be 450, but a long Time ago). Doctod gave me prescription and said to use if I got worse. By then pf was 380. It's been fluctuating between 350 and 380 with blue inhaler

Is my Peak flow high enough?
Just wanted to ask the community about PF. My peak flow is on average at 88%. I’ve read conflicting info about where it should be if control has been achieved. Some info is saying between 80-100% of PB is controlled while the impression I got from reading Asthma UK is that if it is less than PB you should

High FENO High Peak Flow - No Action
Hi Folks, NIOX FENO Score - 98 - month later 102 Sent for a peak flow/spirometry - This was satisfactory No further action by my doctor. NOW - Shall I accept this decision or shall I pursue having such a high FENO score? I've been warned by a family member (trained on NIOX) that I could have irreversible

Getting somewhere...Xolair soon?!
Today I saw my specialist for the first time since being referred by my consultant and I can safely say that the appointment was a success! The specialist was lovely, really understanding and there was no hesitation in her recommending that she make a case for me to start Xolair! Despite me constantly

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
I've been reading the National Review of Asthma Deaths after the news last week on the increase in asthma deaths. I was diagnosed with asthma in January this year (54 with no history of asthma), after a hospital stay I'm managing very well on anti-histamines (over the counter) and Relvar Elipta 92/22

Possible Flare up?
Advice needed. Been diagnosed just over a month and put on blue inhaler reliever (doesn't do much) and Fostair combination preventer (which is a Godsend). Cough and wheeze all but disappeared. Suddenly the cough came back again tonight. Not as bad as it was but it still came back. Does this mean the

Asthma advice - bothersome wheeze
I’ve had mild asthma for many years and I started running about a year ago. A couple of years before that I started to experience a wheeze, mostly when exercising but occasionally for no known reason.

Another “tool” for emergency care!
So I was chatting with EmmaF91 and Lysistrata from here last night and we were saying how it would be quite helpful to have something small to keep on us to alert people to your asthma/treatment that works etc. I know a lot of us either have our own or Emma’s famous template for a&e trips but sometimes
