I use my albuterol rescue inhaler daily at work, but some days off I find days, like yesterday, that I don't use it at all. I think it is more unusual to go a day without it than with it.

Have you identified your triggers? Is dust one of them? If so, try an air purifier and keeping things well dusted and see if that makes a difference.

I've not really tried to indentify anything to be honest. It's just a case of "oh i got asthma" and thats that. Dust probably does bother me my nose is forever feeling like i need to sneeze and when i do sneeze most time my chest gets tight and i need my inhaler. lol The human body was not a great design.

Gamz, it sounds like your asthma is mild. Still, I would try and make note of where you are and when the need to use your inhaler occurs. My guess is there are triggers. You won't be able to eliminate all of them, but if they are inside your home, you could do something about it. Think about it, at least, okay?

When i was younger i had to use it everyday, 3 or 4 times maybe.Whether i was out in the cold weather, exercising, in a dusty place,had a cold,or when it just hit me.

Now, all of those things don't bother me as much(apart from when i jog), so i'd say 3 or 4 times in a good week.

lately,i'm using it or my neb several times a day....so-back on the prednisone-oh joy,oh,joy.....

I've started using my inhaler back down to once a day, mainly when i go bed or wake up in the night for a toke on it. I went to the gym for the first time ever on thursday and my lungs felt so much better immediatly.

Well, I was one of those that smoked with asthma. When I did so, I used my rescue inhaler all the time. When I quit smoking I was also able to quit using the rescue inhaler except maybe twice a week or so.

I also understand that using a rescue inhaler so often may be an indication that your asthma is out of control and other maintenance medication is needed. It can make a world of difference. Have you talked to your doctor?

Good luck to you and breathe well!

I only had about 6 times this month. Mine is very mild though and more triggered by weather and allergies. Dr. said mine was all bronchial related whatever that meant!
