Does anyone understand how peak flow measurements indicate severity of COPD
I am assessed as moderate COPD, however my peak flow of 275 does not appear on peak flow charts, the lowest figure being 300. The medics tell me my peak flow and breathing are fine/normal. This is very confusing as anyone else encountered this sort of cofusion during their treatment?

Weird triggers
My peak flow took a bit of a dive this morning when I accidently inhaled toothpaste froth. [Stupid face]. Didn't struggle too much to get over it, but it got me thinking about weird triggers. One of my weird ones is toast, it doesn't even have to be overdone. What are your weird triggers? Would love

Peak flow assistance please
Hi I'm new to this site and was diagnosed with asthma 8 years ago, but suspect I had it since I was a child. My parents thought I was breathless because I was unfit, hence such a late diagnosis. My asthma has been a lot better since I moved away from the city, but I haven't been treating it as such

Changing type of inhaler device...
Hi, I am new to asthma and was only diagnosed about 2months ago. I was first prescribed Ventolin MDI reliever inhaler and then a Clenil MDI preventer inhaler was added. After using the Clenil Preventer inhaler for 4weeks I saw a big improvement in my asthma and peak flow. However, the Clenil was causing

Weather
I do not know if it is co-incidence but since the weather has become hot my peak flow has dropped and I am having to use my inhalers more, I do suffer with hay fever although my antihistamine tablet does seem to be controlling that side of things nicely. I was wondering if anyone else has found that

Is this asthma? Throat and chest tight
Hi, this is likely to be a long one, but I'd be grateful for any thoughts as I'm quite confused! Not looking for medical advice per se, but any thoughts would be gratefully received. I'm 28, have been asthmatic pretty much all my life. Went back on inhalers in my early 20s and since then it's been very

Third time lucky and I'm back into it!
I stared the C25K full of enthusiasm back in April. But dropped off the treadmill, so to speak, after a couple of attempts. I had asked the forum about running with asthma and was really encouraged by all the positive replies I received, but still felt off. I would be gasping through w1r1 and had

Peak flow tracker
Hey all! I have found a great website that allows you to record your peak flow. You create an account and then you can record your peak flow readings even from the past so you can transfer your readings from a paper chart. It also works out your different zones and you can add things like life factors

Can anyone recommend any good apps for asthma?
I searched the android market and there are hundreds that all look pretty similar! Does anyone use any that they would recommend? Preferably with a peak flow chart since I keep losing the book! Thanks :)

lowered PF readings + bronchial challenge test
hi peeps. Soon now, I will have to stop the clenil & serevent inhalers for a week before the dreaded bronchial challenge test. What I want to know now, esp as I've now seen 2 consultants who aren't taking *my* triggers on board, is this. If I find when I stop the 2 above inhalers, that my peak flow
