Why is my breathing suddenly so bad?
My
inhalers
are flutiform (2 sprays twice per day which I have been taking during all of this time - I even tried doubling, tripling and quadrupling the dose to no avail) and ventolin (as needed - sometimes 8-12 sprays per day) which of course does help but not like it helped me feel normal prior to

Using a spacer for the first time
I have only recently been diagnosed and have been given a Fostair inhaler. My doctor suggested to me that I might benefit from using a spacer and I got an Aerochamber plus today. I'm worried that I'm being incredibly dim!The instructions say that it's ready to be used straight from the packet, which

I'm with you Pootle1973
I have symptoms every single day despite
inhalers
& have steroids with every cold \ huge trigger. But not in last 3 months because I'm in lockdown & only go for a local walk, son's not at school. Big surprise. Being so careful comes back to bite us, how convenient for them.

Two weeks ago had a telephone appointment with a GP, I was concerned that my breathing had not been as normal for a few weeks. Certainly wheezing while breathing out, just breathing out! No real problem inhaling. I was asked to visit the surgery for a face to face appointment that same day with the GP

What is it like to have your asthma properly medicated?
Hi all, as I am one of the original first UK Coronavirus Lockdown's bronchitis or asthma (which is looking more like asthma now due to symptoms) patient since: 05/05/2020, due to being triaged at a hospital as my doctor could hear me wheeze and lose my breath the deeper I coughed over the telephone;

Chronic Side Effects of Asthma Medications
I joined this group some two months ago, soon after being been diagnosed with underlying asthma. At that time, I had been prescribed Forstair 100/6 and have tried the pressurised inhaler and NEXThaler fine powder options, both of which evoked horrendous side effects of hoarseness, dry mouth ulcers and

Swapping spiriva to Trimbow and update on referral
Hi, I managed to speak to the asthma specialist nurse at my own GP’s, about my increase in flare ups, increased prednisolone and need for referral that I posted about last week. He was very helpful in that he acknowledged that a referral was necessary, although being seen by a Consultant ‘as they have

Is this good or bad?
Tmi but I've just brought up a lot of mucus for about 10 minutes with constant coughing. I have started a stronger and new inhaler after an asthma flare up two weeks ago. Is this good? Is this my lungs bringing up all the bad stuff from the flare up?

Hi I need some advice they've changed my steriod inhaler nearly two weeks ago from the brown one to fostair nexthaler as I'm still struggling with my breathing and had two asthma flare ups due to blood pressure pills. I was wondering when should I see improvement in my chest? How long does it take? Just

Recycling inhalers
Does anyone have any idea of the current state of affairs regarding recycling the plastic component of
inhalers
? GSK had a scheme, but just now when I looked for that webpage it was no longer there.

Sob symptoms after 5days of prednisolone and currently stepping down
Hi hope all is well with you all. During an asthma flare up which started 12 days ago I was given 5 days prednisolone 40mg daily and another inhaler (Atrovent and then replaced by Spiriva a week later). I normally need a 2 courses of steroids and step down to sort out the problem, but as I’ve had too

Emphysema
I use ventolin, fostair 200/6 and spiriva respimat
inhalers
. I am prescribed 2 ventolin, 2 fostair and 1 spiriva per month. I have sent a cd to the tribunal from the hospital that contains xray and ct scan images. Any idea why the dwp would do this ?

Questions about Spiriva and referral
Hi, I’ve just taken my first dose of Spiriva and am always a bit edgy when taking new things 😅. I realised after taking it, that the instructions didn’t say anything about shaking it before use, is that because it’s a different kind of inhaler to Fostair which is my other inhaler? Also it didn’t
