  • Ah you poor Engerlanders.

    Since my vague ā€œpossibly asthmaā€ diagnosis last November Iā€™ve had 2 salbutamol inhalers, 1 clenil inhaler, 2 different spacer devices and a peak flow meter and not paid a penny for any of it.

  • What's your peak flow bro? I got 540 which puts me in the 70-year-old range šŸ¤£

    I think technique plays a part though. Also didn't pay for my inhaler.

  • Iā€™ve just done 3 weeks of it morning and night and Iā€™m pretty evenly spread between 550 and 650. Maybe slightly more of the results being 600+.

    I think Iā€™d agree about technique, as Iā€™d not feel like my breathing was any different from one day to the next but have a difference of 100 in my test results.

    I just had a Spirograph test done at the hospital and the guy that administered that said I was at about 78-80% of lung capacity (I presume for my age, weight and height as he took these) which about correlated to the norms chart for the peak flow meter which says I should be doing about 670.
