Do inhalers help for COPD
Hi, I have COPD I believe it's moderate, I was diagnosed around 8 years ago after I had given up smoking, it was mild at that time. Since then I have tried numerous inhalers and have not found that any improve my breathing. Does anyone know if they are to help improve breathing, or are they to stop

Cleaning spacer
Hi as you see in pic when the flashlight is shining at. Is that residue from inhaler or suds from cleaning the spacer and them drying into the tube after leaving it to air dry or was that already there before I used it. How do I remove it.

Positive ANA speckled test - MCAS
I was diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome earlier this year but the treatment hasn’t helped much. I have weekly bladder instillations and have been on antibiotics since Feb. I had a cystoscopy which showed biofilm in the bladder. I also have gastro issues and sensitivity to food - MCAS diet

O2 saturation and heart rate
May I ask if anyone takes measurements of O2 saturation during asthma attacks? Do you see numbers drop significantly during attacks? I know my asthma is bad when I cannot talk in sentences and must lie down to let it pass. While lying down, the heart rate is at 130 and stays until rescue inhaler kicks

Asthma spacer
Hi I clean my spacer every 5 to 7 days and use soapy water with anti static cloth for cleaning inside tube only when washing it to remove residue from inhaler as without cloth just washing it in soapy water doesn’t reduce residue or medicine stick in tube but I use a fostair inhaler with a aerochamber

Urgent Advice please Do I carry on with Fostair inhaler with Prednisone?
Hi I am now taking a short dose of Prednisone for the first time and forgot to ask GP if I should also continue taking my Fostiar steroid inhaler? I suspect so as he didn’t tell me to stop! But I don’t know for sure and I am due another dose of Fostair before bed? Does anyone know thank you in anticipation

Prednisolone Underactive Thyroid
Hi I wonder if anyone can put my mind at rest. I have been on high dose steroid inhalers for over 20 years to control my difficult asthma. However over the last couple of months it’s taken a turn for the worse and I have now been prescribed a 7 day course of 30 mg Prednisolone. Having read the instructions

Non-allergic asthma? Is montelukast and antihistamine needed?
Hi.

I am powerless
I don't know what can help me. Inhalators are not helping me with my asthma. I tried Fostair, Symbicort, Seretide, Flutiform, Spiriva respimat. Nothing helps me. I have to take ventolin 2-4 times a day. I have shortness of breath and my chest is wheezing. Two days ago I had a meeting with a consultant

Thank you
I would like to say thank you to everyone who gave me advice when I was feeling very low and thought my asthma would never become controllable again . Well after listening to you all and Persevering with my Symbicort inhaler, I am pleased to say I feel so much better I have even started swimming again-slowly

Puzzled by asthma symptoms and then no symptoms
Last year I suffered from symptoms that lead me to suspect late onset asthma. On several occasions I woke in the night with difficulty breathing. I was suffering from frequent coughing fits and on two terrifying occasions found my self gasping for breath after a short walk. Phone conversations with

New asthma nurse
Hi I have been for my appointment today with a different nurse as my usual one has been off sick for a while. She said to keep doing what I am doing now inhaler wise but is keen to get me seen by the respiratory specialist, as it appears things are uncontrolled. She said she would feel a bit happier
