420 peakflow

topic posted Sat, November 11, 2006 - 11:04 AM by  LiaBear
I woke up this AM with my chest tight and kinda itchy. My peak flow read 420, 400, 400. I'm trying to manage it without using my inhaler. I'm drinking a cup of tea.

Anyway, what are your peakflow readings, green and red? I think my green is around 460, but I'll have to look up my chart.

    so, the combo of being vertical and a nice warm cup of green tea seemed to move most of the crap out of my lunngs without using the Albuterol. My peak flow is almost the same, but I feel a lot better.

      peak 500-550

      use puffer @ 450-400

      danger - go to hospital @ 300 or less

        I've been exercising regularly outdoors lately,
        and this seems to both boost my peak flow,
        as well as keep my numbers more consistent.

        Food seems to be a big factor too.

        Cheese especially seems to precede difficult breathing.

        Anyone else experience ups / downs in relation to
        foods / exercise?
