For starters, I'd see your doctor and let them know you are having exercise induced asthma problems. May I ask what controller asthma meds are? (Inhaler & pills, aside from albuterol or levalbuterol.) Prednisone should be a last resort anymore. Leukotriene inhibitors such as montelukast (Singulair), and Advair (diskus or HFA inhaler) are better choices for controller medications. There's other options, too, I'm just mentioning the two I use.
Your airways are irritated and this can take some time to recover from especially with your already compromised state. Do you use an inhaler? This article is a quick read https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/features/stubborn-cough#1. I think following up with your doctor at the end of taking Bactrim if you are still coughing would be a good idea to get their guidance. But likely, it's the dreaded lingering cough. Let us know how you are doing.
I was born with eczema and I started to have bronchospasm few years ago. The doc said it might be asthma and prescribed me with salbutamol. However, i found that I don't have the common syptoms as asthmatic people .e.g wheezing or coughing, and it doesn't disturb my sleeping as well. I just feel the bronchi contract and chest tightness which go away after few minutes later without taking the inhaler. I've taken the inhaler before but i found it no use, so i didn't use it anymore.
Xopenex® Inhalation Solution (levalbuterol) is a short acting inhaled medicine, a rescue medicine, with fewer side effects than similar medicines used for the relief of acute asthma symptoms. It is not a medicine well-suited for long term, sustained asthma control.
There are other classes of asthma medicines, called controller medicines and these do not have the same excitatory side effects.
OK,
First post on forum. Diabetes for 7 years. Type 2 progressed to full insulin shortly. runs in the family.
Went to a new doctor today and was getting examined and he told me a new treatment was out. He said about an inhaler. Well I know about insulin inhalers but didn't know if they were used much. So I asked them if this was what he was talking about and he said no. He said the medicine reacted with your pancreas.
280 Current Medications : amiodarone, coumadin, Allegra, levalbuterol, guaifenesen, metoprolol, paw-paw

is it safe to use a nicotine inhaler? obviously nicotine isnt safe and can harm your baby but for stopping smoking would it be ok? as cigarettes have thousands of other chemicals aswell as nicotine but for stopping completely has anyone tried the inhaler?
I am relatively new to the use of an inhaler and have trouble telling when they are empty, full, or even working. Four evenings ago I started a knew inhaler and ended up using them both an estimated 6 treatments. The 1st day after this I experienced intense heartburn. I dont usually get heartburn and have never experienced this extreme discomfort. Blamed it on the pizza we had eaten.
I just heard of an insulin inhaler anyone have any info on this? I currently use an insulin pump and would love to try something new.I would much rather have an islet cell transplant, but thats not going to happen too soon....any ideas on how to get into the beta testing for this???
spirometry confirmed that it was asthma I had and I got out on the brown preventer inhaler and the blue reliever. 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.
Hi Ive Just Picked Up My Inhaler Today And The Doctor Told Me To Have About 10 PuffsA Day From It. Ive Had 5 So Far Today But My Breathings Still Bad The Inhaler Hasnt Seemed To Affect It In Any Way. Does It take A Few Days To Work Or Should It Work straight Away?
Does This Mean I Dont Have Asthma And My Breathing Could Be Caused By Something Else?
Thank You
P.
I am using combivent(4x a day ) and serevent diskus 50mcg 2x for my
moderate severe copd, I have just started
Flovent 50mcg inhaler. Is this OK or should I
cutdown on the combivent ?
Just wondering if anyone here uses an albuterol inhaler and are they safe to use during pregnancy? I use one every now and then but not on a daily basis. I'm only 5 weeks along. I used mine tonight because I felt like I absolutely had to.
Hi, i I am using ventolin inhaler regularly for past many years. Also i am using Pulmicort and Singulair regularly. I am from India.I may be travelling to US shortly. I am worried about the availability of Ventolin inhalers. Some months i may need to use more than one Ventolin inhalers based on my asthma triggers. Will it be a problem to get 2 ventolin inhaler prescription per month in US.
I therefore took myself off this inhaler and told my asthma nurse about it. I have been off the inhaler for two years and practically symptom free. I only need my blue inhaler if I catch a cold.
After two years nearly symptom free my asthma nurse wants me to go back on a steroid inhaler so has put me on cleril modulite 100mcg inhaler. I've been taking it for two weeks and notice my asthma getting worse and a build up of phlegm again. Why would the inhalers be making my asthma worse ?
Well, i was just prescribed an asthma inhaler today. Ive thought that i have develped asthma for a few weeks now because ive been extremely short of breath and had a tight chest. I also notice that it gets worse around my cat or smoke. Also,apprantly my dr agreed because he prescribed me an inhaler.
If u can't breathe then u should take Ur inhaler. Ur inhaler is not great for u but its considered safe cause if u can't breathe then thats not safe either. But u should prolly ask Ur Dr if there is something different he can give u. Those should only be used once a day.
My doctor has me using the neb more than an inhaler. I am to use my inhaler only when I absolutely cannot use my neb or for very minor issues.
Personally, I find it is MUCH more effective. The nebulizer produces a much finer mist than what comes out of an inhaler enabling it to get deeper into the lungs. I know of some people that have purchased small, purse sized nebs to use instead of using an inhaler at all.
