A member asked:
If a lung tumor is starting to constrict/obstruct your airway, will a ventolin inhaler stop the wheezing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obstruction: Usually fixed obstruction caused by a tumor will not be reversible with Albuterol. The PFTs lab testing pre and post bronchodilator may determine the degree of improvement associated with the Bronchodilator. The primary treatment is to establish a treatment protocol to attempt to decrease the size of the tumor.
