Avatar f tn This is similar to what happened with my "Asthma". Started bad and was diagnosed and given advair - worked like a charm and was awesome. Then had a bad asthma spell because of my work (a pet store) moving and we had 25 years of dirt, fur and dust moving around the store as the shelvings were been moved plus a lot of cleaner fumes.
Avatar f tn He prescribed me atrovent but from what I understand it is usually a substitute for ventolin not steroids. He directed me to take both atrovent and ventolin 2 times a day for a month but I don't really have a long term treatment plan. The doctor seemed a bit stumped as to what else to do. I am suffering from some symptoms almost all the time and regularly have fairly bad attacts. I am very glad to have the ventolin but I'm hoping to find long term treatment for the underlying problem.
920032 tn?1550680156 Hi, I used to be on Qvar and Ventolin, I recently changed doctors and explained to my dr that I had been needing my ventolin up to 10 times per day, even if all I was doing was sitting on thr lounge. He prescribed me with the symbicort turbuhaler and I have one puff off this once a day and in the past 2 months that I have been on it, I have pretty much forgotten that I am asthmatic, even through the extreme cold in the last couple of weeks.
Avatar n tn I will slowly drop from the 500 to 350-380 with a decrease in the efficenness of my ventolin/atrovent. Eventually the inhaler does nothing and I feel like crap. However, most of the time when I get to this point, a neb and doctor visit does not increase the peak flow at all, even with 50mg of pred it takes days for the peak flow to increase. So by recording your numbers over time, you will get to know how your lungs and peak flow values correspond to symptoms and attacks.
Avatar f tn after being on the blue Ventolin inhaler I had experienced severe headaches and a jittery feeling in me everytime I took it, the headaches became increasingly worse so I got took off Ventolin and put on Bricanyl Turbohaler. I have been using Bricanyl along with my brown inhaler and antihistamines as it was believed that I had allergic asthma.
Avatar n tn Xopenx 1.25 mg and Ipratropium Bromide 0.02%.
1232362 tn?1333135406 He slowly got me to wane off of the meds that I thought I really needed and now down from 3 puffs of advair 500/50 twice a day to only using ventolin/atrovent 1-2 a week (due to acid reflux irriating my lungs). He was the one that led me down the reflux rotate and it looks likes that the problem with possible celiac disease or gluten issues. Hopefully you have the same success with the pulmonologist as I did. Good luck!!
Avatar n tn I have been using Combivent for about a month together with Asmanex to treat my cough-variant asthma and have had pretty good results. However, the first inhalation of Combivent always triggers a major coughing spell (sometimes it's so severe I almost vomit or my ribs hurt). Are there other bronchodilators that might be easier to inhale and still be effective? Or would using a nebulizer help? I've heard there can be adverse side effects with a nebulizer.
7748835 tn?1393868668 There is another reliever you can use with ventolin called atrovent (not sure it is in duoneb as I'm not familiar with that product). When my asthma got bad I was using both of them and found that worked much much better ..... Ventolin wasn't working on me either. Get the doctor to watch you take your inhaler as well to make sure your technique is good and you are getting medicine into your lungs.
Avatar f tn I have always been on ventolin, so that shouldn't be the problem and pulmicort is a powder. I remember when i was younger that the powder ventolin I had made me cough, so now I take the spray.
Avatar n tn got mucus wich is stuck in throat i do take ventolin inhaler once a day wat can i take or do to take out mucus i feel uncomfartable wat medicine can i take and wat exersize can i do
1154802 tn?1266485720 Another question!! I have been asthmatic since I was 2 years old (very severe as a child, mild now) and for a long time as a child it felt like I was spending most of my time using the damned nebuliser!! When I was about 8 a doctor told my Mum that nebulisers aren't any more effective than your usual inhaler and to stop using it. Since then I've never used it.
Avatar m tn For the past week i have been having extreme difficulties with my asthma and no matter what i do or where i go nothing is working, my albuterol solution and iprotrium bromide for the nebulizer, my albuterol sulfate inhaler, anti-allergen medications, even herbal treatments nothing is working at all, i have frequented my doctor he says my lungs sound clear and my oxygen blood level is reading good, however there is a tightness in my left lung and its hard to breathe, im having to use the nebulize
1515545 tn?1291395764 Awesome thank you everyone
Avatar n tn i have copd and found spiriva wasnt working for me, after several attempts at trying different things i was put on seretide 4 times a day along with ventolin and spiriva and this settled things down nicely. Go back to doctors and have a word with him/her and advise the spiriva is not working, they will try something else for him, good luck.
Avatar n tn yet last pft relatively normal with midflows decreased at 64% of predicted and airway resistance slightly increased- signifying mild obstructive airway disease with no change with ventolin/atrovent. I am confused. Is it normal for the cat scans to be so varied? Is it normal for sleep apnea to cause daytime hypoxia? I have episodes with cough, wheezing, flushing and high blood pressure..putting me in hospital....multiple times. Have you ever seen anything like this before?
Avatar f tn Since it sounds like you are sensitive to the beta agonists, it might be worth a try with Atrovent, which is a like Spiriva, but s short acting and somewhat different formula. I would speak with your physician about this medication.
Avatar f tn My son has had eczema since he was a couple of months old but we didnt see any signs of allergy until i stopped breastfeeding him and he had breathing problems , when we had him tested we found he had allergies from many foods like garlic, lemons, oranges, grapes, sunflower seeds and oil, olives and olive oil, peaches, apples, lobster, cheeses , and cows milk but yoghurt is ok and chocolate so some things with cows milk were fine, we could give him some of these foods in moderation and not more
Avatar f tn When you turn the nebulizer, on exhale to the limit of possibility, then inhale from the nebulizer to the limt, take your mouth off the nebulizer and hold your breath as long as you can. Wait four minutes and do the same with two puffs of Atrovent (iatropium bromide). Atrovent (in some people) does not irritate the heart as much. The combination treatments reduce the incidence of tachycardia.
Avatar f tn I was recently admitted to the hospital in March for 6 days. The last time I had to be admitted I was a child. I just got a nebulizer. The inhalers that I am on are Ventolin and Flovent. Last night, I started coughing a bit. This morning I was wheezing and coughing. Maybe it's the weather changing since it was 64 degrees out today.
Avatar f tn Yes, Atrovent is ipratropium bromide is used for COPD. I use Duoneb which is a combination of albuterol and ipratropium. You are making me wonder if I can manage with ipratropium alone. I have never tried it. I will ask my lung doctor. I use a portable nebulizer. With that I can take as little as I need (or as much).
490398 tn?1319940717 t on is the xolair and daily prednisone which has serious side effects and is a last resort. You could ask about adding Atrovent to your nebulizer as it helps ventolin works better to control your breathing. As for the allergies, are your symptoms controlled with the reactine, besides the asthma? You should get someone to watch your cat and spend a week or so with low dust and cat dander until the flare subsides - A VERY good idea.
746512 tn?1388807580 I have a tight chest/throat, itchy lungs, lowered peak flow (70-80%) which atrovent/ventolin works on a bit for about an hour. Now my methacholine challenge was completely negative for asthma - however it was done in jan-march (I have to go find the exact day). I really don't understand this .... nothing has changed in reflux zone which is defintely an aggravator to the lungs. Thanks for any input you have ....
Avatar n tn t responding great to high levels of inhaled steroids and prednisone for a few severe attacks. It came back completely normal - no asthma. wtf? I was advair, ventolin, atrovent, singulair, antihistamines you name it. I was starting to get my allergies under control so I was still getting symptoms from the leftover inflammation and gunk left in my lungs but the typical "asthma twitchiness" wasn't there. This led the pulmonalogist to say I didn't have asthma.
1135961 tn?1279145314 I have seen two doctors and im on a combination of meds. They are, Advair500, Atrovent, Alvesco, Prednizone, Singulair, and ventolin. All these meds dont seem to work.Ive been to the e.r three times in the last two months. And during my last visit I was put on bypass. Its seems like every day my chest is tight, and I wease a little. Sure there are some good days, but overall my asthma is still out of control. I feel so frustrated , and dont want to end up in the er again. What do I do?
Avatar n tn Last year I was diagnosed with Bronchectisis, put on an atrovent inhaler and take mucinex daily. Early December I started coughing more and started having pain in my right lung when I took a deep breath. Sometimes the pain is felt in my mid back area and on my right side in the ribs. The DR. took an x ray which showed a bronchectic infection in my right lung. I was put on 14 days of antibodics which took away the cough and green phlem that I always have.
