Aerochamber breathing problems when not cleaned?

[vooxxy]

Hey there does anyone else feel that their breathing gets a bit more restricted when the aerochamber goes for about 3 - 4 weeks without cleaning it? Iam on Clenil Modulite 100 i did give fostair a try but it was giving me bad headaches. Might need to try other inhaler used to take seretide years ago and was fine on it.

I clean my every 2 weeks and I have a spare one so I can clean one and use one for my pumps. Also I can have one in my college bag and I don't know to panic that I need to find an areochamber

How do you clean yours i find that the medication is still attached to it even if i let it sit in the basin with warm water

[Hidden in reply to vooxxy]

False teeth cleaning or washing up liquid and rinsed under the tap to get any traces of it off.

Yes. So I have several - one to use. One being washed and a spare for out and about.

Hi Vooxxy. Re Fostair - I had bad headaches too but they disappeared after a week.

I got the headaches after about 3 weeks of use it was strange then after i went back to the brown it stops but then i get a little tighter to breathe so its trying to balance it. Went to asthma nurse today she said the only other thing she could give me would be Montaklast but iam waiting for a sleep test results to come back been 6months lol ridiculous right.

Hi Vooxxy. Have you had your blood pressure tested? Fostair can affect BP. Might explain the headaches.

[vooxxy in reply to Poobah]

Not to sure what my BP was during taking it

I just washed it in warm soppy water with a soft sponge then let it dry in the rack .....now I have a dishwasher I just stick it in there ....I’ve never had a problem with it xx
