Day Three without a smoke
As an asthmatic I gave up cigarettes years ago only to restart 3 years ago I was smoke free for 18 years ! So now I've decided all my sinus issues and shortness of breath has to stop so Day 3!!! The thing that bothers me the most is I feel my asthma is worse but I have bad allergies and it's a bad season

Growing concerns but feeling ignored.
Hi everyone, I'm new here but I'm hoping someone can give me some advice. I've had asthma since I was about 15 (I'm 24 now) and it's been pretty well controlled up until a few months ago. It started with me getting breathless really easily - not being able to walk up a hill that had previously not caused

Confused by peak flow reading!
Morning all I just wondered if anyone can shed on light on this for me? I have been studying my peakflow in readiness for a visit to a consultant. What I have noticed is that my peakflow can be as high as 360 and yet I still need to use my blue inhaler 8 times. However over the past few days it has

Had a good few weeks but ...
Being on antibiotics and steroids for two weeks gave me a new lease of life. My peak flow was better, I was walking better and I had energy to do things I haven't managed for a couple of years. Unfortunately, since stopping the antibiotics and tapering off the steroids my chest is getting bad again and

Peak flow
Mild asthmatic here! My dr and I have been messing around with my meds for a while now. I'm currently on pulmicort 400 mg twice a day after increasing from 200 twice a day three months ago. After increasing the dose I didn't relally notice a decrease in symptoms, but my pef got way better... for one

Nebuliser for first time
I have just been seen by an ambulance crew and nebulised for the first time. It was scary because my reliever wasn't having any effect and I had difficulty speaking. Fortunately I felt a lot better after the nebuliser. Off to see a doc in a few hours. My peak flow has been declining over the past couple

What is more important? Peak flow readings or asthma symptoms, not severe ones.
I am baffled, and I hope someone out there could explain. Recently I had a run-in with an inscence stick. It really didn't agree with me, and the day after the encounter I woke up feeling I was getting a chest infection. I wasn't and very gradually the asthma sensations/symptoms wore off, over nearly

Peak Flow reading!
Does anyone know what our ideal (normal) peak flow reading should be. I've had mine done and was wondering if it's good or not so good. I usually ask but my Doctor was asking me other things and it side tracked me...thanks Andrea :) x

Really struggling not sure what to do
I was diagnosed with asthma as a child, it was never really bad, I had a couple of attacks as a teenager but nothing major. I'm 25 now and haven't had an inhaler or anything for over 10 years I thought my asthma had just gone away. About a month ago a developed a cough, went to my GP when it didn't

Tight chest
I had a bit of an exacerbation this afternoon whilst using wood restorer. I have fairly recently been put on the SMART regime and so took a dose of Symbicort then another 5 minutes later. The coughing and wheezing seems to have gone and my peak flow is not much lower than normal but I still feel quite

Salamol CFC inhaler?
Hi! My name is Nikolay and this is my first post. I have suffered asthma pretty badly since birth, especially more into my adult life. And in the last couple of months I have had problems with Salamol CFC inhaler, which has made me have to use my inhaler excessively. My peak flow is low 175 the best;
