Found my One and Only Proper Spirometry Flow chart today, Makes one think unless I am misreading it
So by proper I mean sitting in a cubicle with nose clip and face mask:) My other ones have been desk-top units one in Russia and one at my UK ex GP (ex because I was removed from the surgery list for not going to visit for over 6 months) Readings did not really give me cause for worry and I wonder why

Fed up
Day 18 of chest infection. Antibiotics finished 2 days ago, day 9 of steroids. Chest still tight and breathing not perfect. Plus side Ive had my voice back for 2 days 😊 Peak flow 250 am and pm. Using brown and blue inhaler. When is this going to clear up?

Feeling scared Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Hi Everyone Its been some time since I last posted on here. Everything has been ticking along ok (pardon the pun). General health as usual has been a bit up and down. I was diagnosed with depression in August due to bullying and harassment at work. Consequently I left the job, I don’t miss the 75mile

He can decide wether I have to go back to work. Given another inhaler to try and told I might have to go

Getting a bit fed-up now....
Hi there. Newbie here :) So early November I caught a cold which turned into a chest infection...sinusitis then followed it. After two courses of antibiotics I thought I was on the mend...how wrong was I! The Doctor gave me Prednisolone to help my recovery but unfortunately sent me a little crazy. Three

Not sure what to do
Typically, I’ve got to Friday evening and my asthma is bad. If it wasn’t Friday I’d probably see my gp in the morning but obviously can’t do that. I’ve had some sort of virus for the past few days - first had a sore throat, then turned into a tickly cough. Yesterday I was coughing from midday, couldn

Peak Flow Question
I have heard that there should be slight decrease in peakflow between morning and night, but no clarification on what that means. So what is a normal difference between PF for morning and night? Do they mean by ten or fifteen or twenty? My PF tends to jump around within the 550-590 range so one day

Chest or trachea infection?
This maybe a very daft question but I have been struggling with what I think has been a chest infection for the last 11 weeks. Diagnosed with asthma 30 years ago. I have had lots of medication and produced lots of mucus but still have it! The front of my chest is sore and the base of my throat but my

Asthma Exacerbation Protocol or treatment chart
I just wanted to get this definition clear in my mind. When I was in A &E on Saturday the doctor who saw me had a flow sheet/protocol of what they do when they treated me. The title of this document was Asthma Exacerbation which I now know means asthma attack. I been in A &E twice in three days last

Cold, asthma attack and cancelling breathing test
Hi all I posted last week that I had a cold and asked for advice. I was fine on Thursday but Friday my peak flow drop down to 350/500 which 60%. I was a bit surprised but decided to treat myself with lots of Ventolin regular. I couldn't get my peak flow to go up but I thought I would be OK. Saturday

Recovering from flare up
Following my recent post, I thought I'd just ask to see if anyone has similar experiences when recovering from an attack or "exacerbation" as it says on my discharge letter. Symptoms had been playing up for about 3 weeks prior to a hospital stay for 5 days, had lots of tests for other things done to
