A member asked:

Do inhalers help anxiety attacks

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Inhalers: can help with asthma attacks. If an asthmatic is having a panic attack - an inhaler may be helpful. However, in general - inhalers are not used to treat panic attacks.
