Nebuliser

Last year I was given use of a nebuliser having used it four times a day I found my breathing was worse, has any one else had same problems?

It may help people advise you if you told us what you are nebulizing and w

hat was the reason you were given it.

Personally i nebulize ventolin to open my airways and saline to help loosen the mucus which both work, i also nebulize colomycin twice a day to keep pseudomonas numbers down, but the jury out on if that works.

Best wishes

I too find a nebulizer makes my symptoms worse. My heart rate goes up and it does not help my breathing. I stopped using mine and feel as long as I keep active I am less breathless. If I give in to my symptoms and do not make the effort they get worse..

Well finally somebody with problem l had.GP could not understand,hosp's did not

believe me.Had been using for a while as thought it was needed.It was at a time when l was having exacerbations up to 4 times a week.

Then one day, having stopped using Neb's for a while, my breathing not being that

good, decided to try Neb's again.BIG mistake and into Hosp.Have not used for six years

Exacerbations virtually non existent. Although l do take two amoxicillin daily .

This happened to me when I was using saline but since using ONLY Ventolin the nebuliser has been of some benefit.

Why does your name come up as Hidden, yet the post is from Johnnel ??

I’m confused now so are people saying nebuliser is not good to use or have ??

I had problems using an nebulizer couldnt cope with it. Consultant suggested having about 10puffs on my inhaler . Which helped check with your doctor.
