Delayed reaction?
This may seem like a silly question, but is it possible to have a delayed reaction to a trigger? I was at work a couple of days ago where a really strong chemical was being used to clean the floors- it irritated my chest at the time, but I only started coughing the next day and my peak flow has dropped

Asthma and COPD or both???
After being diagnosed with Asthma some years ago and managing it I ended up in A&E with Respiratory Failure recently. Whilst in Hospital I was started on Fostair and Montelukast with my Salbutamol and things improved. Fostair replaced my Brown Inhaler. After recovering I had a follow up appt with the

Dr changed my Medication to Fostair 100/6
Hi Health Unlocked Community The last time I wrote on here I had been taking some antibiotics for a mild chest infection. The antibiotics helped with the increased doseage of Ventolin 5 puffs 4 times a day plus Symbicort 2 puffs morning and evening but I'd still not recovered properly and found walking

Can peak flow be increased
My peak flow has been around 320 for the last 20 years. My asthma however still remains uncontrolled. My doctor has suggested that I try another inhaler as well as 2 puffs twice a day of the Flutiform 250/10. He seems to think that there is a chance that this additional inhaler may improve my peak flow

Running with Asthma.. How do YOU do it?!
I've read on hear how some of you run with Asthma, I've seen some folks in the Park Run use their inhalers. My question is How??? How in the world do you do it? For about 5 weeks I've felt a tightness in my chest and finally went to the Doc today. She told me it was most likely I have a bronchial irritation

Montelukast Question
Hi I'd like to hear from several users of Montelukast as to how long they feel it took to get an improvement in their symptoms. Hoping to get several answers so I can compare them and arrive at an average time-frame I should expect to wait on any positive results (assuming I'm lucky enough for this drug

Newly Diagnosed
I was given a working diagnosis of asthma last week after 3 weeks of very varied peak flow readings (done at home as requested by my doctor) and a prescription of salbutamol for use if needed. I am grateful for a diagnosis as I've been having these same issues for around 7 years but they never got bad

Fostair
Recently I had to double up on my normal dose of fostair, due to a really bad cold and a chest infection. The doctor gave me some antibiotics and I kept on taking my increased meds for about 4 weeks till my peak flow got back to its normal ready and remained steady. There's only one side effect I have

Shortness of breathe
I am a fit slim 70 year old female experiencing shortness of breath, tightening in my chest with exercise. I've had a ECG test which was normal and a blood test to test for heart failure. Also had a chest xray which is normal and blown a peak flow test which had indicated a normal reading?

Has anyone bought or got a NIOX VERO® for assessment and management of airway inflammation for asthma?
Hi. My asthma is still not great. I'm taking a nebuliser treatment at home now once a day along with steroids still. I just found this link, It's USA based but it has a UK link to it. The website looks very thorough, with case studies, publications, resources and so much info about what they are about
