Angie~Asthma inhaler for pain?

[Guest guest]

Do you know the reasoning behind a doctor telling you to use an asthma inhaler

for pain? I'm an asthmatic (severe) since I was about 3 years old. I've been

on numerous types of inhalers throughout my 31 years and nothing has helped

pain. I would also be extremely concerned about using an asthma inhaler that

does not have asthma or not for its intended purpose because of the risk of

death with the acceleration of the heart rate. Just curious if the doc had an

explanation for you on how this allegedly works?

I also have asthma; I have never used my inhaler for pain. This one I am going

to ask my Dr about.

I don't know why the doctor suggested the inhaler; but I do have one and I do

have asthma. So maybe the doctor was thinking my pain was related to it

somehow. I also get pleurisy a lot and several doctors have told me to use the

inhaler for that. Maybe the steroid helps inflammation??

OH, one more thing. When I went to ER once for chest pain and they determined

it was the pleurisy; they gave me breathing treatments over several hours and it

did subside. Then they prescribed me the inhaler when I left. So there's

something there... I just don't know what it is.

I was wondering what kind of inhaler, is it albuterol or one of the

cortisteriods, that may be the reason. I have had asthma for ever and

have found that there are different inhalers for different things, you

know the rescue inhaler is albuterol, then you have the ones like

maxair, intal, advair, those are more cortisteroid inhalers, so it is

possible that is why? Just wondering.
