Diagnosed with asthma 3 years ago. Take Fostair 100/6 (4 puffs a day as my usual dose, can take up to 8 a day when ill) and Montelukast.
I caught Covid 3 months ago. Double vaccinated with Pfizer.
My asthma was largely ok with Covid although I did develop a mild secondary chest infection about a week in, it cleared up quickly with a 5 day course of antibiotics which 111 prescribed. I had an awful cough which developed gradually (lasted about 7 weeks but I still have rib pain and palpitations from it and am undergoing tests).
My oxygen saturation was good throughout and my peak flow was better than normal - it's normally 380 but was between 410 and 440 when I had Covid. I was taking extra Fostair due to the cough so this could account for the peak flow improvement!
I was supported by the Covid Monitoring Service (CMS) due to having a number of health conditions. They told me asthmatics were generally faring well with Covid (especially if double jabbed) and it was people with some of my other conditions, like Ehlers Danlos and psoriatic arthritis, who were generally taking longer to recover in their experience.
I ended up having 7 weeks off sick. The cough was awful but I also had a lot of fatigue, aches and pains and brain fog. I also had a kidney infection which took 2 courses of antibiotics to shift. I did have some shortness of breath but nothing dramatic and it didn't last long. I felt very well supported - a doctor from the CMS rang me every day until I was out of the 'danger zone', they took my pulse oximeter, peak flow and blood pressure readings and gave advice on managing symptoms.
My asthma was less affected by Covid in the end than it has been by other viruses. In late 2019 I had an asthma attack from a chest infection and was on 8 Fostair puffs a day, plus about 6 ventolin puffs. Had to have prednisolone alongside antibiotics. At no point with Covid did I struggle to breathe.
I would advise anyone with asthma to get a pulse oximeter if you can, mine was £11 on amazon and reassured me no end.
