salbutamol for copd

He was diagnosed with asthma when he was a child, but has not used inhalers since perhaps early teens (except for the short term salbutamol recently as noted above). My husband saw his sleep disorders doctor (he has chronic-obstructive sleep apnea and is on CPAP therapy) who also happens to be a respirologist. My husband told her about the COPD, and she looked at his medical history and was adamant that he did not have it.

This is the worst part of my emphysema. As soon as I wake I have to use my inhaler (Airomir, Salbutamol) I have tried sleeping sitting up, but as I go off I get a chocking sensation, Has any one solved this problem?

But opted for the single lung transplant, as they felt she would not survive a double lung transplant. I too am 51 and have COPD. I very much understand your deep concern for your boyfriend. Lung transplants are extremely serious operations. A doctor that has not prescribed any meds for these lung diseases, but recommends lung transplant, I would be seeking a second opinion and quickly. I hold your boyfriend and you in my thoughts and prayers.

His cough didn’t improve and so eventually he stopped taking these. He continued having the cough and in 2014 we paid for a CT scan, just to check things were ok. We were worried about asbestos as we know he has worked in buildings containing it. The CT scan showed up some scars, granulomas and a raised left hemi diaphragm. He mentioned this to his GP, but he didn’t do anything about it.

I took tx for 12 weeks starting in Aug 2014 and after 2 weeks had a tight chest & neck, hepatologist stated it might be my heart. Internist stated it was seasonal allergies but the tightness in my chest has never stopped. Has anybody else had this problem? As of Jan 2015, I no longer have hep c 1a with follow up in one year, but I still feel listless.

Hi, Salbutamol is contrindicated in asthma. It is a long acting beta2 agonist that can be dangerous for asthmatics to take without an inhaled steroid. Also, they take too long to be effective which makes them useless as a resuce inhaler as you have been trying to use it. I would recommend that you request further testing from you doctor. The methylcoline (sp?) challenge is the standard and definitive test for asthma. You are give puffs a methylcoline to try to induce an asthma attack.

thank you for your comments brooke, i also was told this by the doctor too but i have not taken my salbutamol in 3 days and are still getting these symptoms. i was told the effects of salbutamol last only a short while. thank you so much for your input, it is much appriciated.

Why is temazepam contraindicated for copd patients and what would the side effects be

I had been hospitalized for 3 years in a row all in the same month march, for shortness of breath. They thought it was asthma. The last time which was this year, they hospitalized me for a week. Which they ran lots of test and determined I have COPD. The symptoms I had were shortness of breath, tired, and coughing. Oxygen doesn't seem to help, medication wasn’t helping too (Spiriva and Advair plus nose sprays).

can i give salbutamol in 1st trimister thretened abortion?

I was recently diagnosed with early copd. Since I do not have health insurance, i go to a clinic. The physician's assistant has prescribed singular for my copd, I don't feel that it is helping me very much. I mostly have shortness of breath & coughing in the evening. This disease frightens me because I don't feel I am getting the right medical advice. I asked about simbicor & spiriva and was told that those meds are for later stages of copd.

I would like to ask if the ipratropium inhaler is available with the combination of salbutamol and what brand?

Are your lungs being subjected to impure air such as secondhand smoke (living with or working with a smoker who smokes indoors), environmental chemicals, or mold spores? If so, then developing asthma and/or copd later in life would not be exceptional for many people imo.

You have a Physicians Forum for COPD, but not a members site. Could be for emphysema as well as COPD. I may be on the way to being diagnosed with this, and would like to speak with others who have it. Thank you Medhelp for all you do.

I am 19 wks pregnant and suffer from terrible allergies this time of yr and have to use salbutamol 100micrograms inhaler. I use it up to 3 times a day. My midwife is uncertain if I can use this while pregnant and I have read up on possible effects to the baby and I am terrified. Has anyone used this while pregnant??

I have severe allergies to most trees. For the past 6 years I have developed a chronic dry cough in the fall season until it snows in the winter. When I blow my nose, there is a sticky white mucus that comes out. I have been told by the allergist that this is asthma and allergies. I am taking 2 puffs of QVAR in the morning and night, half a tablet of reactine and singular at night, and Avamys in the morning.

I undergone treatment for PTB june 2016 to december 2016, I haven't had any xray then, because I got pregnant August 2016 while taking my medecines, I gave birth May 21,2017 and always attacked by my ashtma, and now I went to my doctor and gave me co amoxiclav 625mg and salbutamol+guaefenesin tablet started taking October 18,2017, and had my xray ang got my result just yesterday, and result is upper right lobe infiltrates, ptb considered. what does it means ?

I would like to know whether I should use the inhalers they gave me (spiriva and seretide) for my condition, COPD, irrespective of whether I get some relief from them. Can they slow down the lung deterioration process? Should I really go on inhaling for ever?... in other words, if these medicines are only - or mostly - intended to make me feel better (which they don't), can I stop taking them? I perceive them as a nuisance and the result of a pharmaceutically oriented approach.
