Hi nI don't think so. I am a life long asthmatic and measure my peak flow about 4 times a day when my asthma get severe a peak flow becomes pointless as can hardly blow it.
You can never say never I don't suppose but it sounds unlikely. I've not heard of meters affecting anybody's throat. I'm sure you'll be fine
Doubt it? think you would have to use it every 5 mins of every day for that to happen?
