First noticed with a barking cough. So I started upping my preventer. Also started feeling out of breath, noticed the slowly down

Advice please!
I should have started week 8 on Monday but was feeling terrible and wasn’t able to run. Feeling slightly better, though tired, a little achy and my chest is feeling very tight (asthmatic). Do I rest and start on Monday or the weekend if I can? Do I need to do week 7 again ( I had no problems and finished

Chest Pain?
Hello! Just wanted to know if chest pain is a common symptom for anyone? The past few days I haven't had much tightness, but have started having some chest pain-- it isn't constant, but is kind of a dull soreness or ache. This happened last month too, and when I went into see my specialist, she wasn't

Chest infection
So for the past 10 days, my asthma’s been waking me up & a few times in the night & my peak flow all over the shot. Went to drs just to nip anything in the bud before it got worse. To be informed that my chest is rattly with a bad chest infection and to top it of got a throat infection as well. It

Adult diagnosis
Not sure what to say. I was diagnosed 2017, I'd been coughing incessantly. Got spirometry, xray, peak flow diary Dr said its asthma. Gave me brown inhaler. Towards Xmas last year I had a very bad "panic" episode, not true panic hyperventilating pushed my blood gases haywire. Ttip to A &E. In May

When’s enough, enough?
This year has been so rough with steroids in March, June, 2 lot in August, antibiotics for chest infection September and 2 lots steroids in Oct/ Nov. It’s not even been 6 weeks since my last course of steroids, and my peak flow is so up & down. Good levels one evening & low come the morning & generally

Two Asthma Attacks in the space of Two Months—Should I be concerned?
Before I get into this whole thing since I am new on this forum, I just want to start off by saying that from birth I was quite sickly. I was born with malfunctioning kidney valves that taken two years to fix, had severe asthma growing up and my first asthma attack was when I was 8 years old, I had two

Help getting a diagnosis
I’m currently undergoing testing and have been prescribed a reliever inhaler only. Because I was experiencing chest pain my gp is investigating potential heart problems and although he has prescribed an inhaler, won’t diagnose asthma or prescribe a preventer inhaler at this time. I’ve been experiencing

Seretide to Fostair, my experience and concern.
So like all of us my Asthma gets worse in the Winter, however this year I wanted to just check in with my Doctor about my symptoms. I mostly struggle breathing at night, I average a 550 on my peak flow in the day (I'm 50 year old male) but with Ventolin get straight back up to healthy 650. I was on

In the red zone and under pressure to be at work
I have been in my red zone for the last few days thanks to a colleague who passed on her cold which of course caused my asthma to flare up. Thanks to my new asthma nurse I now have abx and steroids on standby at home which I started taking when peak flow dropped. I have a three monthly review with her

Best peak flow app
Made a silly error by downloading a peak flow app and registering my pf three times a day. A week in just worked out that you can only do once a day so it’s been wiping out any measurement before. What do you all use?

Confused and looking for advice please :)
So this question is mainly aimed at people who have a mild form of asthma I guess. And I know that I've asked a few questions before and gotten advice based on it but just wondering if someone has been in this situation or what I could do. Thanks in advance. Trying to keep this short...and failing ;

Confusion
Hello With ongoing tests to determine what’s going on I just wanted to ask you guys some questions. Whenever the doctors listen to my chest I’ve usually been sitting around waiting for ages and any wheeze has gone so I don’t feel the seeing the whole picture. As long as I sit still I’m fine.

1st Post on my lung condition,sorry if very long post.
Hi All. Came onto this forum as I am a member of Healthunlocked C25K & Bridge to 10K so seemed natural to do so. I went for a spirometry test on Nov 8th then back to see nurse specializing in chronic disease management today on 13th November. I started smoking late in life at about 45 years old and

Autism met Asthma
Hi, I get anxiety as part of my autism. I am finding it really difficult to express the symptoms I am getting. I can see my peak flow is dropping but when I express it to the asthma nurse she is just passing it away as though nothing is wrong. I know from having asthma for years than when your peak flow
