Asthma Support Group
Asthma is a disease of the human respiratory system where the airways narrow, often in response to a "trigger" such as exposure to an allergen, cold air, exercise, or emotional stress. This airway narrowing causes symptoms such as wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, which respond to bronchodilators.
Hi
Question for anyone out there that might can help. I usually use my nebulizer instead of my rescue inhaler mainly because i'm either doing it to pretreat before i exercise or because on days i feel my asthma is flaring up i do a neb treatment before i go out. I asked my asthma doctor one day if using your nebulizer everyday you could build up a tolerance and maybe one day it wouldn't work. I think i remember him saying that it could be possible, but then i had another asthma dr. say no. It wouldn't do that. I wanted to make sure i wasn't making my lungs worse by using just the nebulizer everyday. He asked me why i didn't use my rescue inhaler when i was out and i told him i hardly needed it and using the nebulizer at home was so much easier. Has anyone ever asked their doctor could using a bronchodialtor make your lungs worse,,or you could build up a tolerance to the medicine...Thanks for any and all comments.

On Saturday, while I was at yard sales with my best friend, my lawn guy texted me that he did my lawn. This costs me $70 every two weeks or so. I don't have great grass so sometimes, he skips. Anyway, I paid him on CashApp when I got home. On Sunday morning, he texted me again, to say goodbye because he was moving. My little thinking cap went on and I thought about how I am healthier...
when my asthma flared ( which was often cuz im just now controlled
5 yrs later) i would do even more,, sometimes as much as 6 or 8 x a day ... based on what ive read u can overdose... these days i onlly use my nebs when my inhaler doesnt do anything to help me... i wont do more than evry 4-6 hrs and if that doesnt help its off to the ER
