Nebulizer Question

 

Actually if anyone is doing every 4 hours on a nebulizer, they need to be under strict supervision of a pulmonologist. That is hospitalization stages for asthmatics. The recommended is 4 times a DAY. I personally use it when I am really bad and alternate between inhaler and nebulizer

Oops. I reread my post, and thought about it. Actually 3 to 4 times a day is the nebulizer direction I meant. I don't know where my head was. Thanks for pointing it out. Long week at school!
Good luck, Aurora, in getting your asthma in control.

If your inhaler doesnt work right away, then it requires medical attention. If you black out, dont skip go and call 911 (or in my case stumble into an ER and get asked by a guy in scrubs if he can help you. So I gave him my inhaler and I passed out again woke up to a full team of people and with oxygen and vitals on and in a wheelchair). After vitals finished I was whisked into a room and the respitory team was already there. Must of been out for a few minutes for sure. I was lectured that night and told if I came in 30 minutes later I would of died and they wouldnt have been able to save me. A time after that I was in a full blown attack inhaler didnt work while I was on a bus. The doctors office couldnt understand me, so I handed the phone to a lady next to me that asked if I was ok. Then I pulled out my state id and gave it to her and showed her the inhaler. They pulled up my chart and told her how to get me to the nearest clinic, she did and I passed out right at the reception desk and fell into a wheelchair. I dont know it is with me and passing out in men's arms or in wheelchairs, but I bet one of these days I wont be so lucky.

Your post caught my eye. It reminded me of something I experienced. I have COPD . I was at an office to get a hearing aid and when I was ready to leave, I asked where the restroom was. They told me where it was and I found it. It was in an isolated section of the first floor office area and when I went inside, I suddenly couldn't breath. There was no ventilation or moving air. It was enclosed stale air. I went into a super panic mode gasping for air and luckily I had my oxygen tank with me and desperately started using it. It was a life saver. I couldn't get out of that place fast enough. I thought I was going to die right there. Enclosed places, without ventilation , are really bad for people with breathing problems.
It sounds like you might need more than an occasional nebulizer treatment. Nebulizers are usually used on a regular basis rather than an as needed basis. I hope you saw your doctor about this. .

I'm now on Perforomist twice a day every 12 hours.........So far so good....
