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 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'm waiting on the pharmacist to ring me about inhalers |

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.
