What should i ask my asthma nurse tomorrow?
Hi all. Sorry a slightly long post to follow. For those who haven't seen previous posts i had an asthma flare up in mid December. No cold or flu symptoms. Just shortness of breath constantly with little relief from ventolin. I've had asthma since birth but had no major flare ups since i was a child.

Anyone had their Clenil dose increased?
Hi! I currently take Clenil 100mcg 2 puffs twice a day, after being diagnosed with asthma. I came off it after hay fever season ended, and all was perfect until I came down with a cold 6/7 weeks later so was back on it and needed steroids... I now have another cold for the last week (perks of working

First consultant appointment
I am dreading this as not done peak flows regular for a while. Last time i was ill I did do them. Also I got told off by a gp I don't usually see when I was ill for not doing them either so they could see a trend. And also said had i really got asthma because there was hardly any wheeze when sat in

Peak Flow app for Android
Hi there all. Sorry if this is an old question, but I'm still pretty new to the commubity. Does anyone have good experiences with a Peak Flow app for Android phones. The measures are an important way of checking out the adverse effects of my asthma on my breathing. I'm trying out the one from Ben Hills

Poorly Controlled Asthma - Help!
I have been an asthmatic since I can remember so from being a baby, and I’m now 36. Problem is it’s very poorly controlled; has been for a while now, under the chest clinic, tried different inhalers, medication etc - no joy, my peak flow is usually 350ish and I’ve been on 6 prednisolone daily for six

Where to start back?
I graduated early December and felt great! I then got the lurgy chest virus that was going around and three weeks later I’m just emerging out of the other side. I saw the asthma nurse this morning and my peak flow is ok and I’m wanting to get back into the swing of things. I was thinking of starting

Help for peak flow
Following a bout of pneumonia and asthma I find my peak flow is under 200. It has been like this for years but now I am struggling. What can I do to boost this after the infections have gone? I am a young 73 year old lady who has brittle asthma that I thought had been under control. Also how soon should

Asthma cough!
I find it really concerning the lack of knowledge the GPs have on asthma and that in this day in age are still focused on peak flow testing which is not a good gage for the asthma cough!!! My peak flow has always been good, peak flow tests upper chest airways and not lower! I have had flare up for weeks

Confused and concerned
I had child asthma which i thought i had grown out of as it had very little bearing through adolescence or into adulthood. At the age of 31 i rebuilt my bathroom, failed to use a mask sensibly for some of the tile cutting and then it all went to pot. On the first week of decemeber i developed this dry

Peak flow good?
Hello new here. Been struggling the last 4 weeks. My peak flow has been consistent, in the range of 600-700 (6 foot male), but I'm still feeling really short of breath and chest feels congested. Feels like I have mucus on chest but can't cough it up. Been using my blue pump about 4 times a day (2 puffs

Can anyone tell me what my lung contrasting lung function scores indicate?
I have had COPD for about 8 years. I had a peak flow meter reading for my COPD in June, which read 31%. I went for another lung function test a few weeks ago at the asma clinic, but got very contrasting results. I had the best of 3 test, for which my first attempt was 31%, the second, 51% and the third

Cough Variant Asthma
Is cough variant asthma harder to treat or diagnose. There seems to be a lot more people diagnosed with it, which is good that it’s being recognised. I was diagnosed 13 weeks ago and am on my third change of medication, Forstair 200/6 now and my second lot of prednisone. I never wheeze, my peak flow
