1 Asthma puff less makes me trouble breathing

Recommended Posts

I have this asthma puff, that opens my bronchiens but I left it away last week and only used the combination puff that opens my lungs and also works against bronchitis so it preventive. Sorry dunno how to ex[lain this in English.
I've had one asthma attack last week and notice my breathing is more difficult  without that extra one so I am going to start it again also because of this season. 

Even though I don't smoke I still need 3x2 combination puffs a day + the extra puff apparently. It's not ventolin it works longer. 

I had hoped my lungs would improve and that I didn't need to puff so often.

The short of breathness also makes me tired. 

And it's not very encouraging. 

Anyone else who recognises this. Maybe it's also the season...

One thing is for sure - if you were still smoking, it was a guarantee that your breathing would get worse (and worse, and worse)... Now at least you are giving your body a chance to heal itself and make things better... I am sure that it will improve, but it might take time, I'm not sure how long though.

 

I think that Colleen's breathing improved a lot when she quit, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing or not.

Hey Evelyn

 

Questions for your Docs I think - but it is early days yet. The lungs do start healing the second that we stop - but it takes time to undo the damage that we did. I am guessing that there are also other factors involved with your condition too!

 

The fact is, you are doing brilliantly well and each day that you do not smoke - is improving things in many different ways. 

 

Well done you!

Not smoking can only be a good thing for your lungs....stay strong ...

Can you imagine what my lungs look like after smoking 52 years....

A old pair of black socks springs to my mind....

Everybody has excellent advise above ^^^^^^.

 

I have a never-smoker friend with terrible asthma.

 It is a really scary thing.

He tries to be a scrupulous about dust in his environment..no drapes to collect dust, not many rugs,  no feather duvets etc.

and 

since we live in a very humid climate, do you?,

he finds a de-humidifier very important to his quality of life.

 

I am SO glad you quit smoking, Evelyn.
