For those who use rescue inhalers (i.e. Respimat, ProAir, Ventolin...how often do you use and how does it help you?
I take trelegy 1st thing in morning & then use puffers a couple of times during day.
Hi, I have mild/moderate COPD, it fluctuates wildly according to the weather. I do not use oxygen and my oxygen level is 90%.
I love going abroad to Corfu, the flying time is about 5 - 5 and a half hours. I haven't flown since developing COPD,
Has anyone had experience of flying with COPD - how was it for you. Any tips? Thanks in advance.
Hi there it's Barry whittle could you tell me how you go on with your insurance I find it very difficult to get insurance through any company I just wanted to ask how you manage r insurance ??thanks
I have used Pro Air or Ventolin for quite some time as back up inhalers when I over do.
Have used respiclick for a few years . It is just another brand of albuterol.
How often should you take it COPD, own Dr says 2-3 times a week, i need daily, am i doing something wrong? X
Thank you Jean i use use it x2. -3 times a day! Was told that was too much, i also take steroid inhaer- fosair and spiviva twice daily and have had lung function tests. Thanks for your advice👌
I go online and use a place called “good rx” and they send me a coupon. $24.00
Have been using ProAir once a day and works well, now my insurance is switching me to a generic Albuterol Sulfate HFA--can anyone tell me if this will be the same as using ProAir?
Proair is a rescue inhaler; the main ingredient is albuterol, so the generic inhaler prescribed will be basically the same. Check with your doc or pharmacist to confirm.
what can you do to lower the heart rate and blood pressure? any one ? mine is just getting higher and higher !!!!
So after my appointment yesterday the consultant say there is slight changes and he can’t rule out emphysema. I am hoping that if it is emphysema then it is mild, after a week of crying and being upset I’m determined to now not let this get me down. Im also trying not to google as some of the sites that come up just aren’t helpful. I know everyone is different etc but I was wondering who is in the mild stages and how long have you had mild emphysema for?
Thank you Jean! You are a "breath" of air to me. You explain things so well. In fact, I'm relieved to read your post on mild emphysema which I have. I probably have had it longer, but, I found out 3… read more
