Hello my name is Elaine I have now been suffering for 5 wks I have asthma which is usually well controlled but suddenly started to feel unwell, flu like symptoms was sent home from work. After one weeks coughing increased started on steroids as peak flow dropped from 560 to 400 after a week still no improvement given two lots of antibiotics and these were finished yesterday but still coughing up tenacious sputum and copious amounts. Peak flow improved to 480-500 but still not up to normal. Just not sure what this is and now beginning to feel really down and fatigued Have you any ideas what this could be ??
