A member asked:

I have long qt syndrome and asthma. i need a rescue inhaler. which one has been used most on people like me?

Talk to your Doc: Long qt syndrome and asthma pose some unique challenges. If one has both these syndromes then follow up is needed with both an allergist and cardiologist.

Dr Ali and 2 doctors agreed

Talk to your doctor: I would probably prescribe Levalbuterol (xopenex) for you, but you should ask your physician as well.
