My thinking was more convenient speedy fixes I should no better really.

But am optimist really DON’T know why when I keep getting in a mess but hay live in hope things will improve.

Hi Jeff, all the blue inhaler will do is open your airways, this inhaler should be used before any exertion. For clearing your lungs first thing, I would suggest you hold your sides on the rib cage and blow out or if you have one use your peak flow meter. I find this helps me to clear any phlegm that has hung around since the night before, once you clear your chest then use your blue inhaler. You may need to puff and blow a few times before you bring anything up, if this doesn't work maybe someone else on the forum has more ideas. Take care Maximonkey
