Salbutimol making me cough

Hi all and Happy New Year.

I suffer from brittle/serve asthma and have always used salbutamol as my rescue medication. After my worst and most recent attack I have found it sets me of coughing.

This is a problem as it does nothing to help my asthma, and often makes my chest tighter. I have salbutamol nebs also and they seem to be doing the same.

I see my cons next week but as I'm stuggling a bit at the moment thought I would see if anyone else has had this problem. It even happens with the spacer although not as bad.

Any Help Please Thanks Amanda

Amanda have you tried atrovent nebs (ipratropium bromide)?

I neb these first if i'm coughing, then i use ventolin nebs. If coughing is still being a problem after those two try some good old saline nebulas i find they help too. Hope you feel better soon xxx
