Asthma suddenly took a turn for the worst last night. Not sure *why* as I was doing so well. Nearest I can figure, our area is extremely dry and there has been a lot of wind around here lately. During Mom's visit (for a whole week!), we went to places near the ocean and/or with lots of green (both

Sudden onset of tight chest
Hi All, I've had asthma since birth and it's been manageable, the symptoms have also improved over the years (now 43yrs old) and I only needed to use my reliever every few days. A couple months ago my chest became tight almost overnight to the point where I need to use my reliever 4-8 times a day.

Asthma getting worse and meds are not helping at all
Hi everyone! I’m relatively new here and need some advise. Basically my asthma is getting worse and worse since last August. My GP/ asthma nurse have been increasing my meds since last October. They have changed me from just needing a blue inhaler ever so often to duoresp spiromax 3 puffs/ twice a day

COPD query
Hello I am just wondering whether anyone could help me out. I have had asthma from a young age so my breathing has never been the best as it is. My nan had COPD and both my dad and grandad have Emphysema. My grandad is still alive and doing okay despite only having one and a half lungs. My dad passed

I can’t figure out whether it’s the Tamiflu or the

or having to take both and believe me I’m grateful for both given how sick I was - BUT it’s destroying my stomach. I still have 5 days left to take - any suggestions to settle things down?

I was just prescribed tamiflu and a

as I have a fever of 102.8. Can these be taken together? I will follow up with Mayo tomorrow - they wanted me to get a flu swab to test for flu before getting a scrip for Tamiflu but no one has them in the SF Bay Area.

Can I take ventolin as needed despite using sirdupla?
Hi folks. I don't want to be a pain in the proverbial by posting here too often but I need advice. I had a bad asthma flare on holiday but thankfully I managed to get an emergency supply of steroids to take away with me as it started to play up before I left. The flare was caused I believe by hay fever

Reflecting......
As the warm weather has arrived, I expected to be happier than I am!!! It's those words, should be!!! I'm putting too much pressure on myself!!! I'm always being told to have more compassion for myself and to be proud of what I have achieved but I can tell myself these things until I'm blue in the face

Good news and bad news
Thought I’d post an update on here as I haven’t for a while and could do with a rant/unload! Sorry that this will be pretty long!! So I’ve finally had some good news in terms of my asthma - despite being told differently a few months ago it turns out that I do in fact just sneak in to the dosing criteria

6 Weeks After Treatment - Is This Asthma?
Hello everyone, when I first came here it was because they'd mentioned to me I may have asthma. 6 Weeks ago I was having nearly daily symptoms that lasted for hours. Tight chest, short of breath, easily exerted. I was placed on Salbutamol and Clenil 100 (2 puffs at the start and end of the day) What

Asthma flair with fast heart beat
I wonder if anyone has had similar symptoms? I am just recovering from a bad flair up of asthma which has been a problem for the last 5 weeks. After a drop in peak flow and increased asthma symptoms, I was put on a 7 day course of steroids which seemed to improve things. I struggled through the following

New To Asthma--Some Questions
Hi There, This is long, so apologies in advance. A few months ago I was diagnosed with adult on-set asthma after having this horrible case of bronchitis that lasted for about 2.5 months. It ended up being bacterial (but according to my specialist the initial antibiotics given were not strong enough

Coughing forever?
I have had a chronic cough since early December. I had a really bad asthma flare up and flu at new year and I am still coughing. I’m coughing up white or yellow phlegm so I don’t think there is an infection anymore. No blood. Keeps me awake and is worse at night than during the day. I’m on cetirizine

Italian holiday- asthma flare up - can pharmacists sell me prednisone without prescription from doctor?
I don't know if anyone can help, but does anybody know if I can purchase prednisone over the counter without a prescription from a doctor? I believe I read something to that effect on a website somewhere. Just to explain: I knew my asthma was playing up just before I left home on Friday as my peak flow

Peak flow & Oxygen
I have a peak flow of 600 & my oxygen is at 97%, I had a chest infection about 3 weeks ago, and I was at the nurse a week and a half ago, she said that air is moving around my lungs fine. Could someone tell me as to why I might still be feeling tight chested, I feel like I have a big belt that is just

Broken peak flow monitor?
I monitor my peak flow daily. Recently I’ve been getting some (for me) unusually good results, which I’ve put down to being on a high- dose steroid inhaler for the past month or so. My personal best has been increasing, from 465 to 490 and then 520 in the last couple of days. I’ve also gone from needing
