Peak flow readings?
Is anybody else asthmatic but has high peak flows? My personal best is well above what my average should be and even when I'm feeling really bad asthma wise my peak flows are still near my personal best. I don't understand how I can feel so lousy but my results prove otherwise??

New to asthma
Hello, I have recently been to see my gp with regards to a ""cough"" that I get every time the weather gets cold, they seem to think that this could be asthma and have given me a peak flow to do over the next 10 days. My highest reading so far is 250, is this a good reading or a bad reading? I am quite

inducing asthma by doing Peak Flow
Just wondered if I am the only one with this problem. I have brittle asthma and if I am well I can do a Peak Flow and I become a bit wheezy. If I do the standard 3 Peak Flows then I have a full attack and need a nebulizer. Needless to say, I dont record my Peak flow much as it makes me ill. When I go

Peak Flows
My GP has told me to keep a close look over my peak flow readings so i can work out if i am likely to have an atack or not. i felt the explanation was rather rushed and i don't really know what i'm looking for. My personal bes is 400 although on a really good day it can be slightly higher but at the

30% Drop in Peak Flow?
I'm currently running a peak flow which is 30% below my 'normal' level. I'm not sure if this is something to be concerned about? I don't feel particularly unwell just a little short of breath. Is it normal to have a fluctuation of 30% or is this is big drop? Thanks

Can anxiety cause you to wheeze?
I had a bad night last night. Think it may be caused by anxiety. My peak flow is down to 400 this morning. Its normally 420-430. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Julie XX

Whats your peak flow?
Just wondered what everyone's normal peak flow is? My all time personal record is 550, with a usual score of 480ish when under control. The last week or so, its been in the 300's. I have no idea what the ""normal"" range is although I guess that it all varies per individual. Would be interested to

Symptoms or not?
Hello everyone welcome to my first topic post!! I was diagnosed with adult on-set asthma at the beginning of July. It was very scary, off to hospital in ambulance on oxygen etc. The asthma nurse has increased my symbicort to 4 puffs twice daily and for the first two weeks the need for my blue inhaler

very confused any help appreciated!
Hi, I have spent the majority of this year in hospital with my asthma and chest infections/pneumonia, the last time i was admitted they managed to stabilise my asthma over a week with a combination of magnesium, aminophylinne and a stay on HDU for CPAP. Once i was stable enough to be on the normal ward

Hi am new - to here and to asthma!
Only diagnosed in November. I didn't really believe it to be honest. Had chest infection that went on and on and on. In and out hosp. Diagnosed with asthma. Given inhaler - it helped. Then I got better. And only felt bad when near strong perfume etc. Then last monday started wheezing and coughing

I'm trying not to use it if i can help it, but the phloegm on my chest is making me wheeze. I have used my blue spray 3 times. The wheezing goes for a short time but then
