A member asked:
How does hyperactive airway disease affect your breathing especially your exhale? what is the best way to strengthen your exhale without albuterol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Airway tightness : Hyperactive airway disease or asthma is airway narrowing. You can breathe in but it is hard to get air out. For acute symptoms albuterol is best. Use it as needed. If using more than a few times a day it is time to add another med to the albuterol.
