Experiences with

Nebulizer

in 2015 i was having exaberations virtually all year: then in nov of that year my doc put me on 250mg tabs of Azithromycin ,1 tab three times per week , to me they were magic ,never had no problems until the last couple of months, i don`t really want to go back on the steroids, so i was wondering if

I purchased a portable nebulizer. Im thinking its probably best to wear a😷albeit the restriction. The more I think abt it, I realize Im not looking forward to my next airport adventure😬

Hi I have been struggling with my breathing since August last year. Doctors thought it was my cold or asthma but it coincides with a drop in Levo in January last year. I was dropped from 150 levo which I had been on for a long time but lost 2 stone in weight through illness and then was overmedicated

My consultant has recommended saline through a nebuliser, this I have had to buy, approx. £50, and is just like breathing in cold fog!! I can't see how this helps lung problems, any ideas?

There is always someone worse off than yourself but it does not make anything easier for you thinking about that. Without feeling sorry for yourself this COPD stage 4 certainly wears you right down, I guess that's what its meant to do. Been in hospital 7 times this year with infections, pleurisy & more

Hi all hope everyone is doing well I am new to this forum and just wanted to hear about anyone's experiences with home nebs. I have had 4 hospital admissions this year 3 being in intensive care I am on a few different medications for my severe asthma, seretide 500 accuhaler, flixotide 500 accuhaler,

I also use a nebulizer. I've hd 4 asthma attacks each time feeling as though I wsn't gna make it. I came to the quick realization that I hd to calm myself down breath thru my nose so I cud use my rescue inhaler.

So I have had a few bad attacks in the last week requiring ambulances and gp appointments. However, after a scary ambualnce ride i was admitted to hospital. I'm still a bit emotional about it all 🙁. I remember calling an ambulance and feeling like I might not make it. I had a silent chest when they

It's me again, just came out of hospital yet again after a 10 day stay. Since February I've been in and out so many times Ive lost count. I have now been loaned by the hospital a nebuliser Medix AC 4000 and got the prescription for the drugs to go in it. Saw my consultant Monday and he said hospital

how hard it would be to breathe, but i would still do it. i started being rushed to the emergency room at least twice a week, and at some point, i was literally always in the hospital. then, i finally got diagnosed with copd. i remember when i was little, how i was always embarrassed about wearing a nebulizer

i went to the doctor two days ago, and the doctor told me that i have severe asthma. he told me and my mom that i need to get two inhalers, and a nebulizer mask/machine. my mom never even got the medication!

I've had asthma for about 5 years now and was doing really well only ever had one attack which was brought on by a chest infection. This all changed about 3 weeks ago when I had my first hospital admission for asthma attack and had to stay in hospital for 3 days on nebulisers and steroids. I was discharged

Feeling sorry for myself. Had dry cough for couple of day. Yesterday had to call ambulance for nebuliser as out for day. Felt better so drove home. Saw out of hours GP had another neb and steroids. Last night had about 4 hours sleep in fits and starts. Feeling very tight and wheezy. PEFR down to 50%

Hi, I am a 38 year old woman with no previous asthma/allergies/hayfever anything. I had a cold that left me with a cough that I couldn't shift. Long story of Drs trips etc later I had to call an ambulance and went to hospital where I had an attack for 14 hours - that time I came round to a good cough

Hello lovely people I really need your advice on which nebuliser to buy. I normally use the surgery one when needed but would prefer my own for personal use. I'm a 64 year old chronic asthmatic and have Bronchiectasis (and diabetes). I have been off work at a special needs school since Easter with a

Inhaler, emergency inhaler, and nebulizer don't seem to be helping much on these days. I am betting this is part of having lung ca, but any suggestions on how to make getting through it easier would be much appreciated. Thank you Lauri-Anne

If anyone is able to answer this I'd be grateful - my sister has just called me from where dad is in respite. She's just arrived and found him with the nurses, he's on the toilet with the nebuliser on, and they think he's having a panic attack. His breathing has been awful for the last week, he had an

And every now and again steroids! Flu jab once a year! Also done salt cave exp! Two hospital admissions in last 12 months
