Oops. Sorry. Should have noted the time of the post :'(

I would go on the clinical condition rather than the level of the PFM. If she is struggling and getting worse and not responding to her prescribed medication, then yes, she should go to hospital.
That value of 60 is rather low.....
Sorry my post will be a bit late for you now as a decision will have been made, but in future always rely on how she is breathing rather than on any figures.

PFM ? I thought that was a rather good Italian rock band.

[Old_Geezer]

Thankyou to everyone... Well the ambulance came and decided she had to go into hospital as the nebulizer wasnt having much effect and her breathing was very bad and she was really wheezing. At the hospital they kept her on the nebulizer for a few hours after which she started to breath a lot better.. so at 2 am.... they settled her in bed and the doctor asked for hourly use of nebulizer all through the night until 8 am this morning....After which she is just using her inhalers and is continuing with her steriods on eight a day... Now she is home thankfully... What I didnt have time to put last night was the fact she had an asthma attack on the monday at school and her gp put her on a neb and it worked. so also put her on the steriods.. But last night she took a turn for the worse.... Panic over.. Sqad I will keep your words in mind when it happens next time. Brenda x
