Since getting my new (x2) inhalers and a Whistle Chamber, I can already notice a

difference in the breathing. Ahh, such a nice feeling for once.

Feeling like the cats whiskers lol

them off other important matters. lol

Soz, two different inhalers to use 4 times a day. Two puffs.

Have no idea how long it will give relief, but I enjoying it while it lasts Caroll.

The whistle should not sound, if it does you are not breathing properly.

The back of the throat inhalers were of no use to my choking spasms.

I just cough them out.

The chamber gives more relief. (for me)

And seems to be stopping my spasms.

It will also give me a little more energy to exercise.

Good luck Caroll.

I use them 4 times a day, morning, lunchtime, tea time, and bed time.

Keep them by the side of my bed, I insert one inhaler and two puffs, the second inhaler the same.

Exactly what are your new inhalers and whistle chamber, would love to know if they have been so beneficial .

Oh yes, gave me a good nights sleep and no choking spasms.

The chamber is designed to allow your inhaler twice the amount

of power, instead of the inhaler hitting the back of your throat it

goes into the system.

Only had mine yesterday and already noticed a huge difference.

I have one of those too Ros! They make taking the inhalers sooo much easier. I was this same, as soon as it hit the back of my throat I will start to cough, so essentially I coughed the medicine straight out again!

Oh good Lillitan,

Do not want to raise hopes, but so far so good.

From your surgery Caroll, but I think you will have to make an appointment so your GP knows what you are doing and recommend the right type of inhalers to use with it.#

Good luck.

i too have had a whistle chamber about two years now and they are very good if i were you i ask for a spare your doctors receptionist should be able to arrange this as i found that when i washed it out at the end of the week it always took a while to dry out if you have a spare you can use one one week and the other the following week. in the mean time good health.

That's a good idea Frank, I am using sterile wipes on the mouthpiece, never thought of washing the whole thing.

just wondering ....... the whistle chamber, is it a spacer?

My spacer used to whistle when I wasn't inhaling properly. Now on powder.x P

Yes it is Peg, thankfully it works for me, can notice the difference already. Still struggle with many things, but my breathing is not so laboured. And had no throat constrictions (choking) so far.
