Concerned about ?asthma symptoms, what is significant and what is not
Hi hope everyone is ok. Just looking for some opinions and advice really as I am confused when it comes to my breathing. If you are in a bad mood or not feeling very patient the below might annoy you but I am just trying to be honest and describe my experience. Basically for the past 12 years since

I do a peak flow when I feel like this.. and my peak flow is 800! Top of the charts. I feel like this every summer. Is this asthma symptom? I also

Asthma and heat, plus Stu's padding
Just done w5, r2, yet again, same route along canal (fairly flat). Less distance this time, but heat affecting asthma, peak flow rate down from about 700 on a good day to just about 500 today, so with breathing capacity reduced, I don't mind running a bit slower and less distance, at least I made the

Luforbec
Hi All, New to the forum and just wondered if anyone is having a problem after being switched from Fostair to Luforbec? I got changed over in December and got very chesty, run down and a lot of mucus production that wouldn't shift. My peak flow dropped about 80 points. I'm not breathless but get out

AFTER ALL THIS TIME TESTED POSITIVE!
Well it has happened and both of us have tested positive for Covid last evening. We tested on Wednesday as it was 2 days since we had been with my son and grandsons (who were over from US) and family in Reading and we were clear. Yesterday afternoon my wife felt rough so tested and she was positive

Singulair - Flu Like Symptoms Side Effect
Hey All! A little bit of background on me. Early October I was infected with COVID-19, I’m 4 times vaxxed, and while it was only two days of symptoms, I ended up with SOB on day 3 which later turned into Long COVID. I was prescribed Flovent and Salbutamol by the ER Doctor, my NP then prescribed me Symbicort

If my peak flow has always been low what will spirometry reveal?
I have been referred for spirometry testing due to some symptoms which the cause is unclear (sinus polyp issues/acid reflux/chest tightening) However my peak flow has always been low. Even though I am only 5ft 1 for many years whenever I have had my peak flow tested in college lessons etc it has never

Sudden onset poorly controlled asthma

Oximeter
I have been a bit hors de combat recently, so bought myself a little oximeter, 16 pounds from amazon. I have always found the variation in my peak flows irritating, also I do not like using the peak flow when badly out of breath. So I wondered how for me personally an oximeter worked as a measure of

Covid and Asthma
I am on day 7 of covid. It lowers my peak flow by 30 percent or so and makes me routinely breathless. The thing that gets me is that any asthma triggers then take my breathing very quickly into dangerous territory. So I am a bit confined to no activity, very irritating.

Dust as an asthma trigger.

Standard Peak Flow rate and Clenil dose
How relevant is the flow rate to Clenil dosage? I seem to have the same Standard Peak Flow result (420-450) when taking Clenil 200 x2 twice daily as I did taking Clenil 100x2 twice daily. I worry that my dosage is higher than required- any thoughts please?

Peak flow higher in the evening
Hello 👋 My GP has requested we keep a peak flow diary for my 8 year old son as she is quering he has asthma. We are on day 4 now and I've noticed his readings are always lower in the evening. Everything online says they are normally lower in the morning. Has anyone else had this? His morning readings

Something still not right…. Advice anyone? 🙏🏽
Hi there, I’m a 49 year old lifelong asthmatic. Very well controlled with Montelulast and Singulair 200. Never use ventolin. BUT when I get a cold, cough, Covid it sets me in a downward spiral. This is where I am at the moment. Ventolin is used daily. Had a cold toward end of Nov which went to my chest

Feeling hopeless
Hello everyone, first post. I've had asthma since a child and I'm 43 now but only used a blue inhalor up till earlier this year. Now it's out of control if it is even asthma I'm not so sure anymore since the none of the meds seem to work and in fact some seem to make it worse and my peak flow goes down
