What Is The Purpose Of The Nebulizer?
A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I tried it once and that was the last time. I am just wondering what the purpose is. I tried my rescue inhaler a few hours after the Nebulizer treatment and it DID NOT WORK. It scared the crap out of me. Has anyone else had this issue with the Nebulizer treatment? Thanks

Should A Patient Be Symptom And Medication Free, In Order To Get Their First- Ever PFT Test?
