Asthma pumps - any help?!

Hi guys,

I’ve always had problems with my chest, shortness of breath and heaviness. My mum has asthma so, it was no surprise when the doctor suspected I have asthma or at least, hay fever that severely effects my breathing.

Anyway, I have a blue inhaler and brown inhaler. My mum and I are having the same argument on whether you take the blue pump or brown pump first?!?! Now I understand the purpose of the pumps but, brown is daily use. However, the doctor ask that I take both pumps twice a day (2 pumps of each morning snd night) but, still use blue pump if needed - any chest tightness, pain etc.

I’ve been using the blue pump first and then brown but, my mum is convinced that it isn’t the right way around so, now I’m so confused! Does anyone know???

Thanks :)
