A member asked:
Help please! is chest pain normal when you start using an inhaler?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inhaler: Chest discomfort is a common side effect in my practice. This typically gets better as you become accustomed to the inhaler. Give it at least 1-2 weeks. If it's not better then talk to your doctor. Inhalers are intended to make breathing easier not more difficult.
