Crackling and squeaking chest/throat noises
Hi I wonder if somebody could help me with this. A few months ago when I went to bed as I was breathing out my throat seemed to be making a sound like 'popping candy', then soon after high pitched squeaking. A couple of weeks later I went to the doctors thinking I had a chest infection and was told

At a loss with symptoms
I've had asthma for 28 years and for the first time I'm actually at a loss as to what the heck is going on with my symptoms. Initially this started off with a crackly cough and that crackly wheezy feeling in the chest like when you feel you have a chest infection. So given that it was at an earlys

Good peak flow but having worsening symptoms?
Hi there, Apologies if this sounds like a dumb question but is it possible to have a good peak flow reading but still be feeling tight chested and a little wheezy? I've felt my symptoms get worse over the last few days and I can't make up my mind if it is due to the weather changes we've had recently

Asthma or not?
Hi there. I have just received the letter from my last hospital appointment stating 'we have never established whether or not you have asthma'. My list of diagnoses States: Lupus, restrictive lung disease, weak respiratory muscles, central sleep apnea and narrowing of the smaller airways, possible

Rehabilitation tips?
Hi, I'm currently on yet another dose of antibiotics and prednsiolone having started with infection after infection since October last year. It all came to a head on 2nd March when I was blue lighted to my local ED with an asthma attack. No one seemed to take me seriously that I was short of breath

Peak flow and playing woodwind instruments
Just wondered if anybody else had come across this one. I'm only 5'3'', but have a best ever PEFR of 660, which is much higher than it should be. The only reason anybody can come up with is that I've played clarinet and recorder since I was a child (now 39). The down side of this is that a PEFR which

Peak flow reading.
Morning everyone, just a quickie. My Peak flow reading is always 370 morning noon and night, before and after exercise. I'm stage 1 bullous emphysema with fev1 81% not on any medication. Last Ct scan was back in 2012, I take it if my copd progress then my Peak flow will decline? Is 370 good?

Free Prescriptions for Asthmatics?
Am I the only one who is uncertain as to why asthma isn't an exclusion criterion for prescription charge payment? I guess I shouldn't be complaining just yet as I still fit neatly in the middle of the bracket that says, '16, 17 or 18 and in full-time education', so I don't pay anyway. But when I get

Somewhat belated introduction!
I probably should have introduced myself before posting about the woes of my asthma and commenting…sorry :) I am 17yo, biologically female but identify as male. Which kind of sucks but hey, that's life. I have 'hayfever', eczema and asthma (you would never have known that, would you?), and I suffer

How can my lungs get worse so quickly?!?!
I'm 17 (well, one more week and that will be true!). A year and a half ago, I had maybe mild intermittent asthma. I had a Ventolin inhaler for when I was breathless and that was it. I had had a Ventolin inhaler once before when I was 6 and I had a particularly bad chest infection and ended up with Prednisolone

How long should prednisolone take to improve symptoms
Hi, I was admitted to hospital on 2nd March with an asthma attack. Discharged with 40mg prednisolone for 7 days, then tapering down at a reduction of 5mg for 3 days at a time. On Monday I returned to work and started with yet another chest infection. Started antibiotics straight away and GP increased

Constant coughing
Has anyone got any tips on dealing with a constant dry cough? I've had a bit of an ordeal with my 9 year old son over the past two days. He has mild asthma, we've had sketchy advice about how to deal with it, one nurse suggested it might not even be asthma. He's on ventolin and clenil but we stopped

Clear chest
My asthma is always a bit of b**ch to control but the last month and a half it has been a night mare. 2 hospital admissions and frequent drs trips. I have to take my ventolin through a spacer constantly now. I can't even put a number on how often I take it because it is just all the time. I sound constantly

Allergies?
I have had a chesty cough since October last year. Initially chest x-rays showed a consolidation and I have had 4 course of antibiotics but a later CT scan was clear.

Breathless
I was diagnosed with copd. Ten yrs. ago have been Hospitalised 4times. My peak flow is 130---135 at times, I do not have a cough ....never did have but so breathless I now have to hire a scooter to do my shopping, everything is an effort. As my oxygen levels are ninety percent I fail to understand all
