I have been using the saline every day for two years but have had no problems and find it very good for loosening the mucus. Sorry cannot be more helpful.
Hi Daz, I find that I can get a bit dizzy sometimes when using my nebuliser for any length of time. I think I tend to breathe too deeply for too long. My solution is to stop when I am using the Saline Nebs .....just have a break and breathe normally for a while ...then restart. I do this a few times.
I think there is something in my instruction book ...I will check and let you know.
I got my two nebulisers from Evergreen...and when I have had a problem, I have rung or emailed them....so helpful.
I hope this may help you...take care....hope you are managing your breathing ok.
Hi knitter cheers I think I am to ... Do try suck hole pipe machine into me lungs.
Hospital that give it me .. Never told me out about breathing to deep saying that hospital my lung doc never told me till over day I have suffer hyper inflated lungs and low co2
Hi Daz, I don't know much about nebulisers anymore (used to administer them to patients in work) it has to be the way you're breathing coupled with the low CO2.
Your GP could have been more helpful - being a doctor & all that.
Try knitters method of perhaps ring BLF?
At my asthma check with my new practice & new nurse I demonstrated my inhaler technique, she laughed & said "you don't have to breath in so deeply, a normal breath is fine". I'd always tried to take them long & deep in the misguided notion of getting the medication to the deepest parts of my lungs.
You could have a look at YouTube new demos to check the tecnique? Peege xx
Sorry I can't be of any real help but I say, your nebulizer makes mine look antique ! Mines been broken for over a month now and the NHS hospital in my area has none spare and are still waiting for a delivery ! Good luck with getting a more helpful reply.
I don't experience any dizziness but find that it can take me up to 3/4 to an hour per session (twice a day) to go through the routine of a Ventolin Neb then a 10 min break and then slowly taking some times 3 breaths of Saline before I start coughing up the you know what and small break to calm my throat down and then a few more breaths of saline and so on and so forth. When I first started with the Saline I tried to get through the sessions much quicker and found that I was pulling muscles left, right and centre with the coughing and got completely worn out.
Maybe as suggested don't breath so deeply and take short breaks during the sessions.
