Linking poss asthma and pneumonia

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi group!

Well, chesty cough in high pollen season this summer in UK led to Dr diagnosis of high pollen irritation of lungs, then of asthma, tho inhaler given largely ineffective. So low key if annoying.

Then on holiday in warm climes last week sudden severe bout of pneumonia - wondering if there is a connection? Gather there are lots of strains of both!

    Are you using a preventer ? I started one of these thanks to chemicals at work about ten months ago. I barely need my emergency blue inhaler now, maybe occasionally during a cold night when I awake.

      Hi Earth loop...

      Thanks for this....

      I use a steroid inhaler by name of flixotide twice daily, so I guess I do. Also have emergency blue salbutamol inhaler.

      My point is really they are not esp effective, so look forward to seeing a consultant specialist soon so as to get a clear diagnosis. Clearly something sparked pneumonia, air recycling in plane maybe or my chesty cough. So need a diagnosis and then best Treatment.

      In meantime have just had an anti pneumonia jab!

      Best
