peakflow improved since having steroid nasal spray
Does anyone share my experience? I was using salbutamol a lot and GP was not sure why. Anyway, he changed my nasal spray and eye drops to steroid rather than antihistamine ones, and I have used the salb. far less and my peak flow has improved. I also take loratadine every day. Maybe it is coincidence

Teenage Student new to Asthma
Hi, I’m new here and relatively new to asthma. I just had a few questions that I hoped someone would be able to answer. I had asthma as a child and as far as I know it was well controlled and one of those things that I just grew out of. I am now 19 and 2 years ago I moved into university accommodation

Specialists?
My son has brittle asthma, he's been very poorly on past hospital admissions. He's been to a 'specialist' for the past 5 years or more; I've never really been happy with the diagnosis nor treatment. For example, it took years to get allergy tests done and last year they tested him with the old (non eu

Resistance to Prednisolone?
Is it possible to develop a resistance to Prednisolone so it doesn't work as well? As my consultant said to me today, in the past, upping the Prednisolone has worked really well for me, got me well again, substantially helped my peak flows.

Is it a flare up?
I am currently taking Seretide am and pm to control my asthma which works fine. Every now and again though I feel as though my asthma is flaring up, my chest feels constricted and feel like i can't get a full breath in or out but the thing that confuses me is that my peak flow is bang on (530). Wondered

when to take antibiotics?
Advice please... I have drop in peak flow, had 2 attacks this week (not needed ambulance as extra steroid inhalers abated symptoms eventually). However, today I feel absolutely exhausted, have had some chest discomfort and sputum. So - when do you know where to draw the line and take antibiotics? I

Chest pain in the morning
Hello, I wondered if womeone could help me, or if anyone has a similar experience. I don't have much asthma during the night (I doesn't wake me up) but when I wake up in the morning I often have chest pains, and my chest feels tight, like there's a weight on it. For some reason, this seems to be worse

analysing asthma-a bad thing?
i hope your all well. i have this dilemma and its thanks to my three doctors who are still contradicting each other. My original gp was terrible and gave me all the wrong medication and i saw a different gp who was much better. then he refered me to a hospital doc who has asked me to keep a peak flow

spirometry results help to understand them!
hiya my asthma has been fairly awful all year with a hell of a lot more time in hospital than out of hospital! I had some spirometry tests done at the beginning of my admission but was too poorly to ask for results. I know the ones in the middle of my admission were better but not sure what they

A few questions from a newbie to asthma!
Morning all, I went to the doc three weeks ago after failing to shift a cough/wheeze for 6 months despite antibiotics. A test revealed there was no bacterial infection. The cough gets worse when I lay down, when I gt up or when I start walking. The doc suspected heart failure (given that my ankles

Slightly disappointing news
After about 6 months ""off"" Seretide where I havent been feeling too bad,my latest astma clinic visit has revealed that my peak flow has dropped from 500-525 to 400 so its back to the inhaled steroids again-small beer compared to the problems some of you have but still feel a bit miffed though !!

A bit of advice re strange feelings in my chest
HI. I am symbicort 200/6 four puffs a day and bricanyl as and when. I've been having really strange feelings in my chest - slightly tight and heavy since Christmas. I have been to the doctor, had an ecg etc so I'm not asking the site for medical advice as I know that would be really dangerous. But...
