Bronchiectasis & Haemophilus Influenzae
Hi everyone, I am 31 and was diagnosed with bronchiectasis in august 2012. It followed a 2 year period of having chest infections that wouldn't quite go away. At first they thought it was asthma but after trying inhalers and peak flow tests it showed that was not the case. I then had spirometery tests

Can't get my asthma controlled
I have had asthma since I was 10 and has been fully under control until christmas this year I'm now 42. Since christmas I have been on steroids 5 times and been on them permanently for last month, but it isn't making any difference I am continually out of breath doing the simplest thing, taking a shower

Morning dip in peak flow + symptoms
Does anyone here have issues with morning dips in their peak flow, that coincide with coughing/wheezing fits? I've had asthma for nearly 2 years now, I started out just using Ventolin and was diagnosed based on wheezing, coughing fits and massive variations in my morning and night peak flow... Since

Newly Diagnosed - Help with cough - can this really be Asthma?
Hi, I have had a cough for about 12 weeks, After 4 lots of antibiotics (Believed Sinusitis) the 5th Doc i have seen sent me for a chest xray (all clear) and did a peak flow test (Scored 310 - For my age should be 440 - 29yr F). I was referred to an Asthma nurse who believes I have Asthma. I was prescribed

Seretide is it the answer?
Hello I've had asthma since I was born and it seems worse controlled than ever with lots of exacerbations oral steroids and thrush in my throat and airways. I stopped my nasal sprays earlier this year and switched to nasal washing and that seems to have improved things, it's certainly stopped the thrush

Lack of interest in Asthma by my local NHS
I was diagnosed a year and a half ago with Asthma. It took the NHS 40 years to diagnose me, and did so after an x-ray, peak flow and lung capacity test. All the 'expert' doctor at Epsom hospital in Surrey had to say was 'It's nothing serious, just Asthma, it won't kill you. go to your doctor and he can

What is this?
I always get Asthma after a chest infection and it plays havoc with my running. Its been over a month now and I suspect it still hasn't quite left me. Can anybody relate to this and give me some feedback? It feels like the top of my chest is producing clear and foamy white mucus. It feels dry at times

Becoming Obsessed with my Asthma
I suffer from hypochondria, if you are not aware of what this is, It's a type of OCD/Anxiety that makes you worry about the slightest of things. For example, I could simply have a bug and I'll think I am dying, or even have cancer. Logic doesn't come into play with me most of the time, and even if I

Lower than (my usual) average peak flow, and asthma nurse suddenly concerned.
Hi, new user here! I've had asthma all my life, it's genetic, and I've been relatively symptom free recently! Usually, I notice it at night, or after running, but otherwise, I don't take my reliever (Ventolin 200 Accuhaler) at all. During an asthma check-up, my asthma nurse said that my peak flow was

4 year old falling through the cracks in the NHS
Hi, I would love some advise on this issue. My 4 year old had his first asthma attack (completely out of the blue) 2 years ago so when he was 2 and a half. This was in the spring and doctors think hayfever may have set it off. He stayed two nights in hospital recovering, then was sent home with Salbutamol

Poor care at GP practice
I saw a consultant this week and gathered from her reaction that the asthma care at my GP practice is really poor. From what I read on AUK website it is rather common, unfortunately, but I'm curious as to how others have dealt with this and what their experiences were. The nurse that was assigned to
