First appointment with asthma specialist
Hello everyone, I have my first appointment with an asthma specialist next to Tuesday at my local hospital. I have had a number of asthma reviews at my doctors surgery this year to try and get my asthma under control again but unfortunately the doctor has run out of ideas for medication that he can

asthma, anxiety or both?
How can you tell the difference between the 2? I [i]think[/i] it may be both but I'm not sure how to tell. my peak flow is constantly around 320-330 (before salbutamol), my best is usually 490/500. my inhalers seem to bring it up to 360-370. my only symptoms are chest pain/tightness which eases with

Peak Flow - does it work?
Has anyone else found that you can have a tight chest yet no dip in your peak flow. Other times my peak flow will correspond to how I'm feeling but often it just doesn't! and GPs act like its the best thing ever ! If i have a good peak flow whilst I'm in the docs they'll just act like I'm right as rain

Should I stay or should I go now
I have been struggling all last week with my asthma and hay fever obviously the current very high and high pollen count and hot weather are not helping me. Unfortunately, things are getting worse for me, yesterday I used a total 26 puffs Bricanyl reliever for the day, and a total of 10 nebs for the day

Home peak flow vs Lung function test peak flow
Hi there! I have been monitoring my peak flow twice daily for the past few years and my personal best is around 360, and my lowest is 200. However, I recently had a spirometry/ lung function test in the hospital and the technician gave me a value of 5.8 for my PEF- how does this relate to the peak flow

Update - having hard time with taper, doctors
Eight months ago I came down with a cold which turned into one of my worst periods of uncontrolled asthma in years. Things hit a low point at the beginning of May when I was hospitalized for an asthma flare-up. The week after I left the hospital, things were really good and I thought that finally

Visit to asthma nurse tomorrow.
I am visiting the asthma nurse tomorrow and will ask about a rescue pack at home. She usually just asks about my peak flow and that is it. Do you think I should be asking her about anything else given that my asthma has now landed me in A + E for the first time and I have more or less constant SOB

Getting a diagnosis

Peak-Flow Diary Site
Has anyone used this site before? I've been using it whilst I record 4wks worth of PF - due to detriation of my symptons. Just not sure if it's just me not figuring it out, or if it's just confusing.

Introduction
Hi some is you may have noticed my recent posts on other threads, and I decided to introduce myself. I was diagnosed with adult onset asthma in early 2009 after a bad chest infection. I had been doing well and was reduced from 400/12 Symbicort to 200/6 last autumn without experiencing problems. This
