Question 1

what types of inhalers and nebulizer medicines are best for asthma?

Accepted Answer

Variety: 2 general categories of medications: preventive (usually corticosteroids) and rescue (bronchodilators - beta 2 agonists). So, what is best for you depends on what type of asthma you may have and its severity

Question 2

i am having tablets & 2 types of rotacaps for treating asthma. since then i have minor shaky hands/fingers. what causes this, tablets or inhalers?

Accepted Answer

Both: This is a side effect of all forms of beta agonist medication including liquids, pills and inhalers.  The total dose tends to be higher with the tablets and as such they are a bigger offender.

Question 3

i have pain on side diabetic  b.s 14.4 and have  asthma type cough got asthma inhalers not working also on  cephalexin  laydown i cough walking i coug?

Accepted Answer

Pleuritic pain : From irritation of lung or chest wall structures might be the issue here.  Cephalexin isn’t a great choice for bacteria that may cause chest infection.  Suggest fairly urgent repeat GP or a and m dr examination of chest and may need to consider X-rays etc

Question 4

can adhd type symptoms and anxiety symptoms be a side effect of  albuterol and qvar inhalers for asthma?

Accepted Answer

Side effect: Your symptoms may be related to your asthma medications.  Ask your doctor if you can consider other alternatives and see if your symptoms resolve.

Question 5

can inhalers cause asthma?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Often inhalers can cause "bronchospasms". This is more common with powder inhalers than metered dose inhalers.

Question 6

what is the best inhaler for my asthma?

Accepted Answer

2 types: All persons with asthma should have a quick relief inhaler like albuterol to be used when needed for immediate relief.  Persons with persistent asthma need a daily controller medication. The most effective daily controller are inhaled steroids.  Other medications used as alternative or add-on therapy is montelukast tabs and long-acting bronchodilators. The best inhaler is the one used correctly!

Question 7

is using an inhaler without asthma bad?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Sometimes persistent postinfectious cough may respond to a short course of inhailed albuterol or steroid. Other than that, i don't see a reason to use it.

Question 8

how could i treat asthma without an inhaler?

Accepted Answer

Inhaler: Never, you must allows have an inhaler, your your risking your life.

Question 9

what helps asthma when you don't have a inhaler?

Accepted Answer

Difficult to answer: When you are having an attack the causes may be an allergic reaction, environmental (dust or particles in the air) or cold air. Removing yourself from these immediate areas may be helpful. If your talking about controller inhalers, there really isn't much except to stay clear of those things or places that trigger your attacks. Sorry  i can;t offer much along these lines.

Question 10

do all the asthma inhalers have the same effect?

Accepted Answer

No: There are different types of inhalers.  There are short acting inhalers to provide quick relief such as albuterol.  There are also maintenance inhalers to help reduce inflammation (inhaled steroids), along with combination inhalers that include inhaled steroids with long-acting bronchodilators.
