xopenex rescue inhaler

I don't know what inhaler was prescribed for you, but "rescue' (acts quickly) inhalers such albuterol can cause palpitations and arrhythmias. But this reaction is rare as long as you use the recommended dosage. Steroid inhalers are maintenance inhalers meant to prevent asthma attacks. They do not have cause palpitations and arrhythmias.

Hi, it is possible to be having asthma issues and maintaim a good peak flow for a while. Peak flow reflects how clear the larger airways are. You could be having issues in the smaller airways. The presence of mucous would indicate that something is probably going on. You should really discus this with your dr at your next visit and see what he/she says. Another thought would be acid reflux. Could this be an issue for you?

I am using advair for my asthma and it seems to help with those symptoms and I also have a rescue inhaler Flovent. But i do clean my advair diskus before and after each use. I dont have any infections in my mouth or lung i just have the white mucus and it has only been happening for two months and I have been using the advair about a year now. I heard from someone that the white mucus could be from allergies...is that true?

The pollen has been so high and I discovered a mold problem in my house. I have been using my rescue inhaler more,and the spasms in my chest are more frequent. Is it related? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/206196'>Allergies and Epstein Barr Virus</a>.

What are some of the controller meds? He gave me some advair disks and said to take them two times a day. wondering how long i have to do this, can i stop those when i feel better?

I use Symbicort as a preventative primarily, a maximum of eight times each day, but I use Xopenex for rescue.

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.

Thank you for all ur responses! I am seeing an asthma specialist but u know sometimes we just need some other input. Ppl who are goin thru the same thing. I am overly worried about everything I intake while I'm prego! Call me a worried freak! LoL my BF says I'm paranoid! I am 22wks :) & all I been taking is my albuterol inhaler! My asthma doctor perscribed me some kind of steroid. But I haven't taken it cuz I feel I don't need it but he said as long as I have it on hand.

I take it you are talking about the xopenex ampules and not the xopenex spray? If its the spray then there might be something that can be given to him that is not as strong. Hope this helps.

Thus even though I have never needed a rescue inhaler and believed that I only had exercise induced asthma, I was prescribed my rescue inhaler ever 6 hours (xopenex) and a maintenence inhaler (asmanex) every night along with flonase and clariten. After taking all of these doses in addition to feeling jittery and lightheaded I started to develop stomach pain and heart burn symptoms. Has any one had similar symptoms?

Like Tammy2009 said, keep an eye on your breathing and make sure you have your rescue inhaler with you...if you happen to have breathing problems be sure to use your rescue inhaler. Albuterol works fast and will stop your coughing/improve your breathing quickly and you'll be on your merry way within minutes! If your doctor tells you to pre-medicate before you exercise, be sure to do that because doing so will prevent breathing problems from starting in the first place.

My 10 year old has been diagnosed at a childrens hospital with asthma about 4 years ago As an infant I had been given an inhaler and mask for her because she was wheezing after throwing up her formula which she did often .

I am taking Symbicort inhaler (2 puffs 2 times a day), Atrovent inhaler (2 times 2 puffs), Singulair, Palgic, Xopenex as a rescue inhaler which sometimes does not help at all and I have to go to an emergency room. Before, I was taking maximum doze of ADVAIR but it stop working. My flow peek meter show often that I am in red zone - it happens 2-3 days a week, and rest of the days I am in lower yellow zone and I am rearly in green zone. Spirometry showed asthma as well.

ll get used to the inhaled medicine better or later he will reduce the number of times you need to take the inhaler---or give you an inhaler that delivers less medicine and doesn't have this effect. I hope it's better by now.

I used to take albuterol for fast acting inhaler, but my cardiologist changed me to the xoponex because it is easier on heart patients.

I use xopenex as my rescue med...and right now do Qvar and Foradil for my maintenance meds right now...but obviously am not under control.

My 10 year old has been diagnosed at a childrens hospital with asthma about 4 years ago As an infant I had been given an inhaler and mask for her because she was wheezing after throwing up her formula which she did often .

Pulmonary function tests were normal but she thinks I have asthma. I am on Xopenex inhaler and Quvar inhaler. Recently having more attacks and having to use the Xopenx more so she ordered antibiotic and 1 week of predinose. She wants to do a high resolution CT of the chest and methocholine test but it is very exspensive so I am trying the conservative approach first. Do you think I have been misdiagnosed? I am so healthy otherwise and don't smoke.

Ask him/her if you should also take pills to help you breathe, either SINGULAiRor something similar once in 24hr, and the inhaler. You should also have a rescue inhaler such as ALBUTEROL and use that only in emergency. I have posted a large post re: asthma and all, please read them, hope it will help you. Again do not overuse your inhalers. Keep an air cleaning machine in your home to filter out 99% of all polutants, you can get one for about $60.00 at K-mart or Sears. They help.

I have an appt with a pulmonary dr. in three weeks, but would love input from people who have been through something similar. I was diagnosed with asthma a few years ago. I've been on one puff of Asmanex and albuterol (now Xopenex) as needed, but rarely needed rescue inhalers. I've only seen my general dr. for my asthma and he isn't very informative. The last couple of months my "asthma" has felt worse...

s rule of thumb is if I have to use my rescue inhaler more than 2 times in a week I need to be on a controller medication such as Advair. Both the meds in Advair are Pregnancy Category C. I had to take oral corticosteroids (Prednisone) throughout my pregnancy with my daughter, who is now a healthy 20 year old (will be 21 in July). The risk of injury to your baby is higher from your compromised breathing than from the corticosteroids...

ve been told that the rescue inhaler is the only way to calm an attack. However, I have often myself in the past used hot drinks, in particular coffee, to help with attacks in the past. Apparently there is something in coffee that helps ease the asthma. But really if you are worried about your attacks these days you should see your doctor about them. Because maybe your asthma is out of control. Another things you can do is have a number of rescue inhalers in different spots.

It is my understanding the Combivent is a rescue inhaler. You should use it as prescribed and/or as needed. You doctor added the FLovent because he/she did not feel that you were getting the control you needed from the previous treatment plan. I would consider the Flovent as an addition to you previous routine and not change anything. Take care and have a blessed New Year.

does any one have pac/papations and do a inhaler i need to but to scared it make my heart race. and if it does how long will the racing last. thank you so much for info.
