Do I have asthma?
Hi All, I'm new here and am looking for some advise if at all possible... Back in September 2016 (at the age of 39) I had a severe chest infection (my doctor mentioned that it was borderline pneumonia) which made me rather unwell. Since the illness I have had difficulty breathing with my chest always

Feeling the need
Hi Another question. We as asthmatics are told to take our blue inhalers when we feel we need it. Are there any others like me who struggle to work out when it is needed? I do not wheeze and have never wheezed. So I cannot listen for the need. I am on high esomprezole 40mg two tablets twice a day

What should I do?
I saw the gp this morning as for the last couple of days my asthma symptoms have been getting worse. I've been using ventolin every day, waking during the night, having tight chest and feeling wheezy but can't hear anything if that makes sense? Also coughing when I do any exercise etc. My peak flow

letter to gp from endo
I have received a copy of letter sent to my gp after consultation with endo last week. Lady has been unable to reduce her prednisolone since her visit 6 months ago. Mainly due to frequent hospital visits after long period of being housebound. She had her bloods repeated today. which showed a macrocystosis

Going downhill again 😔
I'm currently on holiday in Gran Canaria. My peak flow is 270 and normally 450. I'm not sure if I have a chest infection again or not. I'm trying to hold it out until I get back to the UK on Thursday. I have been given a rescue pack of Prednisolone from my consultant which I started yesterday. So another

Shortness of breath
For years now I keep having episodes of shortness of breath or my breathing is laboured. I go the doctors and my chest is always clear, oxygen levels are fine and peak flow can be fine. However I can't talk, eat or walk without struggling to breath. My airways always feel inflamed and and sometimes it
