Nebuliser

Pulmonologist has taken me off revlar ellipta and incruse as he said it’s not getting into lungs and prescribed atrovent and pulmicort nebulisers. After 6 days I’m certainly no better and maybe worse. I’ve finished the antibiotics and weaning off prednisone.

Adrenaline during asthma attacks

I had an adrenaline injection and the rest nebulised (along with hydrocortisone, magnesium, atrovent nebs, and salbutamol nebs) yesterday evening during a bad attack (silent parts of my chest again etc.). Not staying in any longer than needed being discharged today. Just a bit frustrated.

The Atrovent inhaler (2 puffs) does not make any difference. Honey helped just a little. Any ideas how I stop the tickling sensations?

He suggested two puffs of my Atrovent inhaler 15 minutes before my two postural lung drainage sessions. I find that the inhaler traps mucus whereas without the inhaler I get a lot out. So I don't use the inhaler for my morning session, but I do for the evening session.

The consultant at the Royal Brompton said use the Atrovent inhaler twice, 15 minutes before the postural lung drainage, which I do. I stopped taking carbocisteine capsules as they might have been causing diarrhea, although it's difficult to know what triggers what with so many 'aids.'

Not sure when to use the Atrovent inhaler.......before lung clearance, or after, or when needed. Cliff.

Add on of Atrovent

I’ve now been given Atrovent to take 3 times a day as well. This might seem a silly question but do I take the Atrovent at the same time as the Fostair for my morning and evening dose and does it matter which I take first? It just seems a lot to take all at once 😬.

Sinusitis side effect with Atrovent and Spiriva

Hi, after a flare up of asthma I was given Atrovent in addition to my Fostair, prednisolone, antibiotics (I had a raised temperature) and anti histamine. After a few days I developed sinus symptoms (which I’ve had on and off for years).

Short Synacthen Test for AI

I am also on Spiriva Respimat 2 puffs morning, as well as ipratropium (Atrovent) and salbutamol via nebuliser 3-4 times daily (as well as other asthma meds). I have been told that these are ok to continue.

Home Nebs 🫁 - they may help improve QoL in severe asthmatics, but are they safe?! Everything you need to know!

IPATROPIUM BROMIDE () Typically given in hospital in acute situations, rarely atrovent nebs can be given at home. This is a SAMA (short acting muscarinic antagonist), so LAMAs (like spiriva) should be stopped if using them.

Sob symptoms after 5days of prednisolone and currently stepping down

During an asthma flare up which started 12 days ago I was given 5 days prednisolone 40mg daily and another inhaler (Atrovent and then replaced by Spiriva a week later).

Add on drugs that are usually prescribed by a consultant part 1 (LAMAs, add-on inhalers, theo)

However ipratropium (atrovent) which is the same class as tiotropium can be used as a reliever, however you shouldn’t use tiotropium and ipratropium at the same time. I have not listed all options here just covered the most common devices, so if I’ve missed yours, sorry and please list it below!

Is it anxiety or asthma

I take Relvar 188 but I still need to take Atrovent sometimes 2 puffs twice a day. Is this normal. I am 66 years of age. I just feel my breathlessness is getting worse but yet my consultant and GP tell me my chest is clear. I suffer from anxiety so could this be the cause of my breathlessness.

Unsure if I have tinnitus..?

Hi everyone... I'm new and am just really panicking that I have tinnitus. Been to Drs twice and ER and went private to an ENT consultant this week. As soon as I mentioned a"hum" in my left ear (right ear is fine) he said it was tinnitus. Was actually hoping there was fluid so I could have that drained

3 days in prednisone and still struggling

I have been in 50 mg prednisone for 3 days 4 hourly ventolin , Atrovent , Cbd oil , Breo air is my preventative How long will it take Prendisone to offer any relief ? What would they do in hospital to help ? Would buying a nebuliser tomorrow help me ?

Asthma

I was taking the Relvar every day(which I still do) but instead of taking the Atrovent inhaler which I could be taking 6-8 puffs a day, I take two nebules. Does this seem weird to anyone. I feel so much better in myself and my anxiety has diminished quite a bit.
