Symbicort affecting Hyperventilation Syndrome
Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with Hyperventilation Syndrome rather than the difficult asthma it was originally thought I did have (no inhalers helpin that much, some making it worse) and am now finding that when I breathe in deeply and sharply to take my Symbicort it sets off my breathlessness,

reduced steroids
My husband has been on monthly steroid injections in an attempt to reduce oral steroids. First 3 months at 80mg, 4th month down to 60mg, and 5th month down to 40mg. As dosage is reduced so does his peak flow (down from 660 to 480). Now unwell with constant cough and production of much mucus. Can you

Asthma and Vehicle fumes
Just joined the forum. I work on a car ferry a week at a time -when I'm home my peak flow is 650 and higher, when on board it drops to 600 and below and I cough alot, get tight chested sometimes and produce loads of mucus. Seen a specialist who reckons it's the vehicle fumes on the car deck that are

Hello I have had mild COPD for several years but now have moderate COPD according to my last check up. Peak flow showed 300 predicted 460
I am tired and breathless a lot. My inhaler has not been altered or added to but I have to have another test in six weeks It seems nothing is being done . Is this normal?

Sinus Infection

1st Asthma Nurse Apt
I have my first appointment with the asthma nurse a week on Wednesday. I was wondering what I should expect? I'm expecting that I will have further tests done, as all the GP did was check my chest and did a peak flow reading. Should I try and avoid taking my reliever inhaler that day if at all possible

problems with low peak flow
Hello, I am fairly new to this forum. I am asthmatic and I have been suffering with it for my entire life. I had some episode of 'chest infection' 10 days ago.

Dr Jekill & Mr Hyde strikes again!
Soooooo frustrated i could scream, cry & generally need a straight jacket i'm so cross with my consultant! After 3 months of my work chasing my cons for a medical report he has sent one to them and its complete rubbish (not just my opinion, my HR officer said 'its useless to us and utter rubbish').

Bronchial spasms vs. asthma?
Hi guys, forgive me for the long post, this is my first one and I hope someone can point me in the right direction :) I’ve included a ‘bit’ of history, but I’ll put my questions here so you don’t bet bored reading. I have just been diagnosed with exercise induced bronchial spasms after having two episodes

Peak flow - controlled asthma appearing uncontrolled
Hi My 5 year old son had his asthma review 2 weeks ago and we've started recording his peak flow. The first week his readings were fine, but in the last week I've had to multi-dose him with his reliever inhaler six out of eleven times using the peak flow meter levels. This isn't like him to need his

Coughing while taking peak flow reading
As someone newly diagnosed with Asthma I am still unsure about many things. During this last bad chest infection I have had great difficulty trying to get a peak flow reading, each time I try to blow into the tube the coughing starts and mucus blocks my throat. Is this usual and if so how do you get

Breathless and uncomfortable but peak flow ok?
Stupid question time from yours truly. My best peak flow so far (and I'm still doing the regular readings for the asthma nurse to diagnose) is 410. That is an evening reading when it should be at its best anyway. I've had a run of really good days and have been able to get on and do most things without

Kind of new here. Tiredness and asthma!
I was a member here for several years when my daughter was asthmatic. I made many friends and gained tonnes of help. She grew out of her asthma and is very well now but I have developed asthma and all the old info I had in my head is hiding!! I'm still at the stage where I'm completing a peak flow
