  • @mdcc_tester I'm sure you're like totes interested but blowing 300s after coming in from today's audax. After a hot, steamy shower (ooh nurse) it went up to 400s with less coughing and spluttering. That's trying to blow in the non-cheaty way.

  • blowing 300s after coming in from today's audax

    Well, the air is obviously hard to move today, I could only just manage 600 when I got off the rollers :-)

    You really need a baseline measure using the same device and technique, the absolute number is relevant but the diagnosis of asthma comes from a marked change caused by one of your triggers, in your case exercising in cold air.

  • Yeah, I'll try and see a GP soon.

    Yay, another medical issue.

  • Saw GP. Used their electronic tester and was blowing at 70% of where I should be for my height and age. This is while warm and with no exercise since Saturday's audax so guess it kind of tallies with the shitty 50% results I was getting on the plastic unit after the ride(s).

    Now I have yet another visit to Ealing hospital for chest x-ray and she's written me a prescription for Salbutamol.

    I thought I might get to 40 before falling apart but looks like this chassis has been ridden into the ground a few years early...
