Had an Asthma attack, been to hospital whats the next step?
Hi all, i had quite a bad asthma attack yesterday, and it ended going on for about 6 hours or more! I gave myself quite a scare! Anyway it was so bad that i decided to go to my local A&E. My neighbour took me as my dad was at work, but she didnt have a clue about astma, so lucky i had my asthma medicine

Large Airway Wheeze
I'm trying to find a way to describe what I mean by this! On the whole my asthma is mild and well controlled, but at times when I've kept a Peak Flow Diary, I never really see a lot of change in my scores unless I've got a URT infection. However, sometimes when I feel wheezy, the wheeze seems to be

Pins and needles
Hi, Over the last few days I have experienced pins and needles in my toes and fingers and today my nose has been tingling. I have never had this before. Should I be concerned? I am on montelukast and uniphylin tablets daily and also ventolin and seretide inhalers. I have checked my peak flow and it

Does FVC vary?
I know there was a discussion not long ago about lung fuction tests, and somebody helpfully gave this link: http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/40002357/ However, what I am still a little confused about is which numbers are variable and which are not? I know peak flow goes up and down, but should the

Peak flow/ventolin question
Hi, I'm a bit confused & looking for somebody clever to help me out! If I take Ventolin then my peak flow goes significantly higher than it gets when I'm feeling well. Would it do this to normal lungs, or does this mean it's always lower than it should be?

Seretide/Symbicort
Could anybody tell me whether Seretide is a stronger inhaler than Symbicort? Or is it that they are just completely different medications. I have had a higher peak flow with Seretide but have recently been put on Symbicort because of the shakiness I had from Seretide. My peak flow won't go over 400

Asthma playing up
Hi all, would ask if you are all ok, but i know the answer already if you are like me. My asthma took a turn for the worse again, had to go to my local walkin center for help, as both my lungs totally locked, (Cramp) and i could not get any medication in or out as i could not take any deep breaths,

Pneumonia/Asthma/Undiagnosed and confused
Evening all, Right a bit of background: Im Laura, 22 yrs old. Used to smoke for about 4/5 years, gave up nearly a year ago. Got pneumonia in June last year. Was referred to the Infectious Diseases department of the hospital as they thought it was TB. Had a chest X-Ray that showed a shadow in my lungs

Reversibility testing
My GP has booked me in for a reversibility test in a couple of weeks, I got a letter telling me not to use my salbutamol within 4 hour of the test, does this mean I need to miss my seretide too? Does the test mean that she is now doubting the diagnosis or is it a normal part of a review? I'm not entirely

Attack, peak flow, hyperventilating & work :@
Hey I had an asthma attack this afternoon but my peak flow didn't seem too bad. could this be due to hyperventilating? it confused me a bit. Also, work really don't take it seriously. I find it hard enough as it is (got a thing about not liking making a fuss) but they seem to think I'm just trying

Newbie here....Inhalers not helping....
Hi, about 6 weeks ago I asked my doctor about my breathing (no immediate history of asthma - did have inhaler as a kid when I had lots of chest infections; immediate family members have asthma). Peak flow (EU) was about 330-370 (34 yo female 5ft 9in). Used Qvar for about 5 weeks and peak flow was still
