Am I having an asthma attack?
You may be having an asthma attack if:
1. your symptoms are quickly getting worse, (coughing, breathlessness, wheezing or tight chest).
2. your reliever inhaler does not seem to be helping as much as usual, or you need it more often.
3. you’re finding it difficult to walk or talk.
4. your peak flow score is much lower than usual.
You may have all, or just some, of these signs. Always carry your reliever inhaler with you so you can use it quickly if you get symptoms or have an attack. Call 999 if you’re having an asthma attack and your reliever inhaler is not working or you do not have your reliever inhaler with you.

March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
It’s important to know the signs and symptoms – especially as risk increases with age. Most cases develop in men aged 50 or older and prostate cancer is more common in Black men.
Prostate cancer often develops slowly, so there may be no symptoms for many years.
Early diagnosis and treatment can save lives. Contact your GP if you notice any changes in your body or something doesn’t feel right.
