At the grand age of 64 ive just been diagnosed with chronic Asthma

I've been intelligent for awhile,first with artilfibrilation, then fluid on my lungs,I'm still very breathlessness it can be a chore just walking a very short distance without breathing very hard,and lying flat in bed is impossible

So I'm asking does anyone suffer with this? I'm waiting on being prescribed a steroid inhaler I'm really hoping this will help

I don't, thankfully. I hope you get the medication and help you need to alleviate your pain. I have friends and family members who have this. 👍🏾😊

I sympathise. I've just been diagnosed with asthma, doesn't sound as serious as yours though.

Have an inhaler which helps, they're now looking into what triggers it

I have asthma and changed to symbicort last year, definitely helped me more with this one. You may need to try a few different ones to find the one that helps you most... all the best

I am from a family of asthmatics, and I was diagnosed with adult onset asthma in my late twenties.

I currently have a salbutamol inhaler for chronic attacks (which are very rare these days), and a prophylactic inhaler called Seretide, which you use twice a day, and is used to manage asthma and COPD. It combines two medications: fluticasone (a corticosteroid] and salmeterol (a long-acting bronchodilator).

I live a perfectly normal life, and if you're prescribed the appropriate medications, you should be absolutely fine.

That's good to know,I'm still waiting on my appointment with the asthma clinic I my GP won't prescribed me anything until then,so I'm just trying to cope with the breathlessness until then
