warning

hi! I’m a senior with lifelong asthma. Two days ago I was having an attack and nearly od’ on my nebulizer. I have a combination of opretorium and albuterol I didn’t use my long breathing tube, instead I got a more concentrated dose. Once in a.m and afternoon. Got buzzy in the head, rapid heartbeat and my neuropathy left my feet totally numb. Upon reading google, it said too much can b fatal. Yipes!

I’m now just using my Ventolin when I get short of breath. Just sharing so no one will suffer while making my mistake. Hugs to all.
