Inhaler

[fruitsalad]

I have been diagnosed, with asthma, and sometimes, when I use my blue inhaler, I go a bit light headed for a short while, does this happen to anyone else?

[Peter Pedant]

both answers 'yes'
just had a horrific week staying in with a member of the fambly who did NOT have a jab but said he had.

It is difficult to intoxicate oneself with a puffer
apparently there is a case report of a glue sniffer who sniffed a whole canister having mistaken it - he got a bit shaky ....

Use Salamol, Seretide and Spiriva inhalers, and Ventolin nebuliser.
Never had side effects.

I use seretide and salbutamol (couldn't get on with Spiriva inhaler) A few years ago if I went to the surgery with an asthma attack they would put me on a nebuliser or lend me one to use at home but our surgery doesn't do that any more. In the past i could control my asthma but the last 2 years every time I get a cold it turns to a chest infection affecting my asthma and I'm prescribed prednisolone every time While this does work I'm concerned that there may be side effects from taking this so often
