Neutrophilic Asthma
Has anyone being diagnosed with this asthma type? Just wondering what treatment you have as I’m on maximum treatment and not eligible for biologics - however the last time I had my bloods tested I was on 40mg of prednisolone so would this affect the eosinophil levels

There is no 'one size fits all' approach to treat severe asthma, study shows.
Wheezing, coughing that doesn’t stop, a pale and sweaty face: clinically, severe asthma attacks look very similar from patient to patient. But biologically, not all severe asthma is the same—and a team of scientists has, for the first time, identified the key difference in people, a finding that has

Chest tightness/pain caused by asthma?
TL;DR: Chest tightness/pain feels like having a tennisball right underneath the ribcage, and not like a general tightness across the chest. Good morning! I have been suffering from asthma my entire life but only really felt problems when exercising. Recently symptoms like coughing, phlegm and chest tightness

Emergency operation
So after the initial diagnosis in 2016 and the usual treatment, I'd had 4 1/2 years of ok health but continous and troublesome constipation. I was being regularly monitored and ct scans showing no problems. No one was concerned so I slept easy at night. I continued to take unsuccessfully in that time

Hi everyone
Well I thought nothing could be worse to experience than 2020. How wrong was I ☹️ I am 4 weeks post ostomy operation, after my hubby found me unconscious on bathroom floor. After a vast number of doctors and medics battled to keep me alive after crashing more than once, I was transferred to hospital

Doctor saying it isn't asthma, but I'm not really following what he says
Does anyone have any experience with their doctor saying its not asthma, when pushed he said might be a mucus plug, but said this was caused by inflammation which is what I thought asthma was? Had a few exacerbations lately and it's horrible to feel so out of control. Back on prednisone and amoxicillin

Anybody suffers from seasonal asthma and use inhaler on demand?
I suffer from seasonal winter asthma. Currently on mart regimen fostair nexthaler 100/6 twice a day. Previously was on becotide twice a day and ventolin as required. I usually stopped taking them before summer and start again beginning of autumn. My mum told me this combi should be taken all year round

Scared
Hello all, I am constantly scared and worried. I was diagnosed with radiation enteritis in April but I am too scared to eat anything (other than soup or yoghurt) as I really cannot deal with another bowel obstruction. I have 2 stomas (colostomy and an urostomy). The urostomy is fine but the colostomy

Spriva for Asthma
Good Day Hope everyone is looking forward to the relaxation of lockdown regulations, I am . I have been prescribed for my 4 lung problems but the specialist says that I do not have COPD but has prescribed Spiriva but when I research this drug it says that it is not for asthma and only for COPD.

Might not be asthma
Hi, new here. I’m seeking some ideas here. I’ve been treated for asthma for over 20 years. I’ve had new inhalers recently but resorted to ones I’ve been taking for some time. In December I became unwell. My go gave me prednisone for a week. That did nothing. He diagnosed a virus (not covid). Still struggling

Fewer people sought medical help for severe asthma attacks during the COVID-19 pandemic
Fewer patients with severe attacks were seen by their GP or admitted to hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, and fewer were admitted to hospital for pneumonia, influenza and chronic lung diseases, show findings from three papers published online in the journal Thorax. Early in the pandemic, asthma

Severe asthma and general anaesthetic
I was due to have an op about 2 weeks ago (ended up having a severe asthma attack and spent 2 weeks in hosp) but didn't have it and they changed their minds and said it was too risky with my asthma being so severe. Well they've phoned today and booked it in for thr 19th April, it's a removal of cysts

Stopping smoking with asthma...
Hi, I'm giving up smoking today and I've got 3 more days, out of 10, on my steriods after asthma attacks. I guess my biggest worry is I hear you bring up phlegm in the first week or two of giving up and was wondering could this set off another asthma attack... Or have people had situations where it

Running with asthma
I have asthma and mild bronchiectasis. I run around once/twice a week- around 3-5k so not very much. I’ve been on Fostair for a couple of years but don’t seem to be getting any benefit from it and still feel like I need my ventolin before exercise. Has anyone swapped to seretide and seen an improvement

Hyperactive airways?
Hi, so in December 2019 I was referred to the hospital chest clinic for testing. There they performed an x-ray, spirometry, blood test etc and the doctor who did this mentioned hyperactive airway sensitivity. I didn't receive a letter from the doctor with results - however they put me on the brown inhaler
