Re: Angie~Asthma inhaler for pain? Maybe

March 9, 2008

Maybe the reason u were told to use inhaler was if they found your

broncholi's were spasming and the inlhaler is prescribed for this reason, he

probably figured use the inhaler to keep these open, and the chest would stay

dialated which would lighten up some of the tightening pain. ??? I am on

inhalers not for asthma, but get into trouble alot with allergy, and because of

scar tissue in my lung, from PE they have had me using inhalers for these,

reasons, so not always used just for asthma. Hope whatever u have goes

quickly. Take Care

hug,

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?
