OTE="squigga, post: 1273300, member: 24970"]True. Just spoken to the nurse about it and she said I shouldn't worry as they're purely guidelines anyway; she again said to practice and not stress - 'if it's been stated I don't have it then if a peak flow diary is sent then it should just be precautionary; people have respiratory problems in the past due to trigger factors such as allergies, infections, stress etc'. Hope that may help anyone. I'm very physically fit anyway and can run for miles without difficulty just a little frame I think. Practise is the key I think[/QUOTE]
Morning Squigga,
I hope the nurse went through the technique of Peak Flow with you, not just told you to practice, as you may practice getting the wrong way right.
You may think you have normally low readings, but the diary will give an accurate picture of how you are, which alongside your med history will make a decision valid.
Good luck (applying for the Army is forgiven as you have now made the right choice!)
