Experiences with

Ventolin

No Ventolin used now for almost a month, and on 2 x 2 puffs of Foster daily, as well as Montekulast. I've been off oral steroids now for a month and the Citalapran really seems to have kicked in too, so I don't feel a fraction as miserable and anxious as I did.

So my first doc sent me for spirometry as he thought I had onset adult asthma nothing had been diagnosed as had asthma as a child and always had ventolin inhaler.

On 3 occasions I had a paramedic sent to me as I was really struggling (after plenty of ventolin) but every time I was checked over my chest was fine. These occurrences have led me to doubt my symptoms. Now I'm 26 and 99% of the time I feel fine.

Taking montelukast tabs symbicort inhaler ventolin and hay fever meds. During last week loads of mucous all normal looking coughing and absolutely no energy at all. Am waiting to be put forward for MDT for new Nacala injection.

The respiratory consultant said I have allergies to my cats.....I wheeze from my throat...not my lungs....I use my ventolin inhaler and the wheeze goes within 10 seconds......but the cough lingers and lingers......

Well, twice now my GP has refused by Ventolin inhaler prescription for not making an asthma review appointment. Okay, I'm a bit rubbish when it comes to making these appointments and I'm a bit rubbish when it comes to using a preventer.

I had 4 x fostair 200, 1x spiriva and 8x ventolin by 11am. I was thinking about calling an ambulance . I’ve been at my sons sports day all morning and we go outside to the freshly mown field and my symptoms clear up.

For example this weekend, I used ventolin before I started, but within the hour, needed to have 2 x 2 puffs more to control my symptoms, and have continued this week to have trouble. I know montelukast is the first choice, but I've tried this and it doesn't seem to help.

do i add 1 saline 2.5ml to 1 ventolin 2.5ml in my nebuliser

Tried inhaler after inhaler and currently on my Ventolin, Fostair and Montelukast.

I took 2 puffs of ventolin as usual before I started, during the hour of playing I needed 2 puffs twice more due to tight chest, unable to catch my breath/get enough air in. During the evening I felt a bit sore but was ok.

She did not do the reversibility portion of test as I had already used my ventolin inhaler two puffs so she could not give it again. I am repeating the test on Monday and so anxious

I was having to use huge amounts of my ventolin after each cigarette. The strange thing was my chest always sounded clear and i had no wheezing. Quit smoking 2 months ago approximately and I'm still on patches now. In that mind frame currently of why the hell did i smoke!

It used to be 12 weeks without any symptoms e.g not needing Ventolin. Thank you

Over the past 7 wks I’ve not needed ventolin once (I was using it roughly 10 times a wk), I’ve not woken in the night with symptoms (I was waking about twice a wk), I’ve not had all over itching, as if I begin to itch I take 2 cetrizine and it calms it.

I struggled in the night and took a ventolin. I took another ventolin at 7am and have been fine. Now, I have 11ish I am struggling again. I want to have a ventolin but I am resisting because I'm not supposed to use the ventolin because there is reliever in the Symbicort.

Went to local GP who said chest infection so was prescribed antibiotics, medrol, Atrovent and ventolin for nebuliser plus oxygen as my o2 was 80. The nebs just made me more sob but I stuck with it.

At my last asthma review last year I was told to reduce my inhalers ( stop Spiriva but continue with ventolin & to drop down to 1 puff instead of 2 puffs twice a os symbicort) she said, because my asthma was stable and no infections or problems.
