Peakflow Variation?
Hi all, I'm new to this, and just wanted to check what is a ""normal variation"" when it comes to peak flow? All the information I read says that healthy people will have some variation, so what is acceptable? For example my max is 460, but today I'm blowing 400 and the other day when I had chest

Peak Flow/?Asthma
Hi everyone, I've just been given a salbutamol inhaler for suspected exercise induced asthma, and over the next two weeks I've been asked to chart my peak flow before exercise, when symptomatic and after using my inhaler. The Doctor has also asked me to see an asthma nurse; I'm not sure if this is

Asthma and feeling low and poorly
Good evening everyone, I bet many of you are finding it more of a strangle now as the wet and cold weather has set in. My asthma has really started to play up since Saturday night when my peak flow started to drop. On Sunday when I took my peak flow it was down to 320 when my personal best is 450.

Welcome to the world of Pred
I've been coughing almost constantly now for 2 weeks (and i've completely lost my voice today too) so i decided it was time to see the doctor. I got in about 5.15 (not bad in our surgery for a 5pm appointment). She did all the normal tests - tempertaure / look in my ears and throat / peak flow and listen

Chest infection was Pneumonia!
Hi After a rough few weeks I've been told my chest infection and flu symptoms was actually pneumonia. I had 2 lots of antibiotics and steroids before I'd started to feel better and breathlessness and peak flow improved. I went back to work (special needs nursery children... Very busy from start to

Attack or not?
So after 27 years of living with asthma, I thought I was pretty clued up on these things but apparently not. I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences/advice. Basically, after a whole 3/4 weeks of being relatively controlled for me (although nowhere near controlled in reality) my asthma

COPD/Asthma and A.F.
Can anyone with Asthma/COPD tell me how they cope when they need to use their Reliever inhaler. I have tried to avoid using mine as it makes the heart race and last time caused a hospital admission with AF, but the past two days I have had a very low Peak Flow and feel I would benefit from a puff

Extra air to exhale? (after new meds)
Hi, I've noticed a few changes in my asthma/ breathing patterns and was wondering if anyone had similar experiences or advice which they could share. I've just switched this week from Seretide 500 to symbicort 200 (2 doses/ twice daily at this stage). So far my peak flow has increased slightly (420

peak flow - how often
I had asthma as a child, though 'grew out of it' and have not used any inhalers for years. Though have had times where I have had persistent wheezy coughs that have usually passed on their own without much issue. More recently though I have been having mild issues with breathing, still nothing

Dog dander allergy
Hi, all. I have just found out that I am allergic to my two 8 month old puppies :( it all started about 2 months ago, when I started experiencing a tight chest, and sob, but no wheezing.
