It sucks having asthma :(
Fluffy Kudos I feel u ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Relate man
Same, my dad's side of the family have history of asthma. It is unfortunate that I inherit it.
Fr😭😭😭
@Justin why😂
It's the end times for us asthmatics boys live it up boys live it up
One of the side effects of asthma attack that raping me is the changes of mood depression derives from the overwheleming tightness of chest and depression suicidal thoughts that can cause indigestion
why? Wtf are you talking about?
Danyull researchers have found that patients with asthma may encounter depression throughout their lives due to the symptomes that simply stops them from playing physical sports such as football and basketball that takes a stable respiratory system so the list of stmptoms goes on and on and the triggers too the exacerbation of phlegm is intense enough to make u depressed and might go dark places if ur not treated by medicines like “ beta agonist 2 aka flutiform for the long term affect “
Danyull sorry if i was darkly explicit
why? Damn that sucks
THANK YOU SO MUCHH!! I just got an inhaler and I was soo confused on how to use it
I hate asthma so goddam much, I'm like constantly breathing through my mouth even know my nose is completely fine.
Shortness of breath
Heavy breathing
Sometimes chest tightness
Coughing
It's like torture served on a silver platter😥😢😓
And also wheezing
Sorry man. Don't let it hold you back.
Wish you the best man, hope you get better.
I wish you all wellness mate. We're in this together
SAME BRO, I was watching this video because it was my first time using an inhaler without the tube thingy. What makes it hard is I’m allergic to cats. It makes my asthma horrible when I’m near cats, and my aunt has two cats.
Thank you, I received an inhaler years ago to use for my mild case of asthma, I am now getting my inhaler back to be prepared for the global pandemic, in case anything happens.
Ya-Boi-Insanity did you go to your doctor or just order online. I want to get a new inhaler ( havent used it in afew years) but idk how..
@@fling4206 I got a prescription from my local clinic, so a doctor.
Me too mild asthma and allergies 🤧 havent used it for the last 2 years got it back today and forgot how to use it😂
What’s considered a mild case? I’ve ran into two cases where I couldn’t breathe out, all I was able to do was breathe in which felt like drowning in my own air, it was so scary.
2023 and they're still trying to keep mandates on the agenda.
Tysm
I have an inhaler but it’s not for asthema
it’s for a really bad cough I have
ii Unknown ii same
ii Unknown ii
Yo same haha
Same - bronchitis over here
ii Unknown 11 you really shouldn’t use a asthma as it cures mucas in the lungs this will mean in your lungs mucas could spread and leads to LIFELONG asthma.
omg sameee i thought i was the only one
This medicine definitely help me. When I'm having trouble breathing, I take my inhaler. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, having trouble breathing. And this happened like before yesterday I think.
Keep using inhaler but Take care of your heart and lungs by naturopathy or ayurveda or yoga . Increasing use of inhaler is an indication of your heart and lungs deteriorating health with time . take care .

Thank you.👍
You as well.
@@harshsorout6 please take me sir how I fight with asthama without inhaler
@@modassirhussain7640 trust me don’t fight it get urself an inhaler
Thank you for this thorough and concise info!
The thing is when Im having an asthma attack I hyperventilate and it becomes difficult to hold the breath in
True
If you can get some medicine in it will help. I know I start feeling like I'm dying trying to hold my breath when my brain is saying I need more air. You do the best you can.
@A. Meowzki crazy how people live the same lives 😂🤦🏾♂️
Awesome. I learned a lot
bruh my friend uses her inhaler like she’s smoking and that’s a lotta money drained
lol that reminds me of the inhaler girl vine
I know this is a year old but if you buy your inhaler overseas is way cheaper. About $5-$6 per instead of paying $50-$60. My gf has asthma and it was just way to expensive to keep paying $60 so we found a good site anybody can easy google to find it and you get the same stuff for like 90% less
I can’t believe y’all have to pay for inhalers in your country’s im from the uk and any type of medication is free as it should be
@@potatohoran9597 yup good oh America a country where being sick can make you go in DEBT FOR LIFE. That's why most people avoid going to the hospital because most just can't afford the hospital bills even with insurance you can still lose EVERYTHING financially
It for 2.5 dollars in my country
Thank you was very helpful
Is it just me or does asthma make you dreadfully tired throughout the day?
I cant even use the stairs or run 🤧
@@juakali7128 same
Thank you for information .
Yester we have a friend that was over and he tried to tell me that you don't put the inhaler in your mouth. You have to keep it out of your mouth. He said that's how his doc told him to do it. Now I can prove he has been doing it wrong. My daughter has asthma and her aunt had bronchitis and I myself has had to use them from time to time. I hate it when people act like they know everything, but yet don't know what they are talking about. Thanks I knew I was doing it the right way.
My doctor told me the same thing. It didn't make any sense to me because it help at all. I can feel the difference when I put it in my mouth
I remember back in 2012, I was diagnosed with EIB and I had to use an inhaler for Lacrosse. Now fast forward 8 years later, I fucked up my breathing by wearing a stupid mask at a gym. Now I'm back on an inhaler.
thank you so much i have asthma and it's my first time using a inhaler thank you so much❤
This was very helpful! Thank you
Okay,where do You get spacers. Been, using Inhalers for yrs. No, Dr. ever mentioned using this.
Thankyou I'm using your advice now copying while watching
this is a good vid my sister has bronchitis and needs an inhaler
Thank you that helped
Thank you because I just got a inhaler For asthma

I have only seen this clip in 2023 and now I understand what I've been doing wrong thanks to CZcams. All these years I've been putting it my anus.
Same man it’s really hard to understand
I don’t have asthma, but I was prescribed an inhaler for a cough due to Covid. Not knowing how to use one is ridiculous. But I don’t know how to use one so here I am watching your video. Thank you so much for this very informative video and how to use the inhaler. It helped me tremendously.
I was prescribed one today for shortness of breath and here I am doing the same thing lol I’m happy I’m not alone
I just got 1 also from covid. This cough is annoying. The pump does help on the bad days
thank you
Thanks!
I don’t have asthma, but I got an inhaler because I’ve been coughing for 5 weeks now and can’t breathe very well it’s still going but I haven’t used it yet cause I don’t know when to use it
I’m a GOD i been living with asthma I didn’t even know without a inhaler for months and I live like how I would normally live but sleeping is much harder so I need to make my self tired like staying up all night
Thankyou!
I made a mistake with mine. And ever since my throat has been dry and water won’t help. Please tell me what I should do
Thank u dear
You just saved my life
How are you now ?
Thanks for the info. We have 2 a daily and a emergency inhaler. And we were given zero instructions on how to use them properly except use the emergency inhaler first then follow up with the daily if my kids couch gets too far out of control
Yes inhaler is good for momentary relief but shortness of breath and tightness of heart or asthma like problems are indication of big health problems in future...so in the mean time try to make your lungs strong by exercise, light running or walking , yoga and healthy food . Quit all bad habits like smoking drinking . And gradually lower ur dependency on inhaler or any medications with the help of ur doctor .
I'm from phillipines I can cure asthma.i cure many asthmatic pasients in my own way of treatment.its just a enjury ( tendons) that cause asthma.i want to help people with asthma.i have the talent but I don't have the resources to promote.thanks
Please help me what is the cure please? I'm damn fucking tired of this illness 🤦🏿♂️@@asthmamigrainetreatment2726
I came here to empathise with my patients. Don't worry, everything will be alright.

Get well !
My spacer makes it like it’s not nasty as it would be without it
Dear Cindy,
I just went to an absolute RIPPER of a Disco Biscuits show a few hours north of PVD, in Portland, ME. They have been on fire this tour btw. That's neither heare nor there. The main focus, is that I took down about a dozen nitrous oxide balloons to the dome after the show. I was actually there til the cops cleared out the entire area, just peacefully sipping a Coors Banquet beer. Anywhoom, I got home, and realized I have/d a wheez and compulsatoritive cough...
When I was fishing through our Pill Drawer for some benzo's to come down with, I found that my wife has an albuterol inhaler that was sitting loose in there. It's still within the means of expiry date, but no Spacer unfortunately. I was thinking, can I affix one of the (now empty) balloons to the inhaler mouthpiece, and depress the dispenser, filling the balloon partially with the albuterol mist, and then "hit" the balloon as if I were just back on the lot? Will this be an effective improvised stand-in for the Spacer? And secondly, is there a respiratory or pharmacological interaction between industrial grade nitrous oxide gas and albuterol? (for the latter answer, it should also be noted that I was hitting my dab pen all night during the show and concurrently with the nitrous balloons.)
I just pulled some pav's during the public on-sale today, for Phish at the Greatwoods run in July, and even if you don't get back to me now tonight, I could definitely use the info either way for that. I actually will probably be staying at the Biltmore that night after the Amtrak ride back.
Thanks and much appreciated,
JJ
Does Symbicort cause nutrient or vitamin depletion in the body like potassium or magnesium?
Minus the shaking this is how I smoke weed
You should shake your weed to make sure the active ingredient is evenly distributed...jk
Unrelated but k
Hope u folks good. 2021 allergies something vicious
Take care of you’re self asthmatics. I have severe asthma. Use them inhalers correctly you will be ok
I have wheezing but scared to use my inhaler its albuterol it says can make heart race and make u shaky or dizzy I dont wanna pass out or have hard time breathing what do u think and its because my allergy
@@JacquelineRoseSchlegel this is really silly. Please use albuterol, I too was scared of side effects but in reality they aren’t bad at all. People take up to 10 pumps of their albuterol emergency inhaler in one sitting and are ok. It’s so worth being able to breathe properly. Anyone reading this, don’t fear the side effects. They’re temporary and always subside. It’s better than going to the emergency room because you can’t breathe.
Recently found out how severe asthma is, always had light asthma as a child and high intensity training asthma. Bought cats few weeks back and had the worst asthma attacks I could imagine. Glad to know how important it is to correctly use your medication.’
@@wanneswanted6747 I wish u the best 💪
They recommended me 2 puffs but I’m not sure separated or together
thank you so much for learn.
I'm from phillipines I can cure asthma in my own way of treatment.many asthmatic pasients that I cured.im not a doctor but I have the talent to it.thanks

thanks
Thankyou very much, realised I've been doing it wrong my whole life
Same lol
I never knew that 11 years later I would need to use an inhaler for COVID.
Thanks for useful information. Very well explained , with this you can also use asthma care pack of planet ayurveda
Thank you so much. I was doing it wrong 😑
When you say "spray inhaler", is it one short press while breathing in or hold it in while I am breathing in?
It’s one short press while you’re breathing in
When I was born I had asthma I need my puffer 24/7 thank u
Ive been diagnosed for asthma since i was a baby. But i never used inhaler in my entire life. Im an active person as well,
Last year i had asthma attack, they gave me an inhaler, never used it, they said only use it when neccesary, but i didnt find any time where it was necessary, so i gave the inhaler to my grandma who has frequent asthma attack, And just last night, i had a horrible asthma attack that made me want to faint. I was thinking of death that time, and now they want me to use the inhaler only when necessary again, i think my asthma attack only occurs on yearly basis
Ok if your gaspining for breathe how are going to shake can for 10 seconds ever time you need it and be able to breathe in slowly? Sounds like this was made for someone not gasping for air
👍🏼. Also get the BreatheEasy Lung Exerciser to quickly tone breathing muscles and open airways.
no❤️
Can you get a spacer over the counter or do you have to have a doctor's prescription?
u need a doctor's prescription in order to get it over the counter
For a natural cure. Cross fingers as a mudra. In time my airway remodeling was cured.
Does anyone know what else I can do if I’m experiencing several episodes of shortness of breath?? I already use an inhaler
I sometimes get shortness of breath due to bronchitis which is probably your problem make sure you get heat like you can turn a steamy shower stand outside of the shower and the fumes of the shower clear your breath. Another thing you can do is have a warm pot. It must be as warm to see the smoke coming out, and put a blanket or towel above your head to prevent it from leaving your face and breathe. These help for me. And btw you can do these for up to 5-10 minutes should help
I think we should make a community of people, who has the same issue.
@candybujo Thank you!!! I was inhaling through my mouth!!
Omg same I recently have been running out of breath for the smallest thing like getting up to look for something warns me out so much to the point im struggling to breathe.
anyone watch this, please review Dr. Gabor Mate's work on childhood trauma, corelating to instances of Asthma/COPD within the population. Its shocking.
My throat is so painful wish the inhaler could sort that out
I have wheezing but scared to use my inhaler its albuterol it says can make heart race and make u shaky or dizzy I dont wanna pass out or have hard time breathing what do u think
I just started a few weeks ago. Just take it the way the doctor says do it and if you feel it's not working or you get the jitters contact your doc.
Same, I just got my inhaler last week and I’ve been dealing with anxiety lately and my heart raises sometimes and I haven’t uses my inhaler because I’m scared of my heart going crazy
Great vid I have asthma
J’aimerais en français s.v.p. mercis
I just got one and seems like mostly a waste if have take all those steps.
I don't have asthma but I do have a horrible cough called postnasal drip so this is something I need to know
I have an effective and definitive treatment for chronic cough
Excellent for cough asthma.
When you say start to breathe in 1:18 do we breathe in through the nose or the mouth or both?
Your mouth you donut
i dont have asma but im coughing really hard its a albutarol inhaler
It felt like nothing happened so I wanna try it again but obv it clearly says only do it twice.
I have a definitive treatment for asthma
Should we exhale from the mouth or the nose?
Which is more effective/recommend?
It depends on if you want to smell or taste your albuterol. Neither are pleasant, but I can drink some water and get rid of the taste. Once it's in your lungs, it's doing it's thing.
Why using inhaler is not suitable for me please guide me
it is normal the medicine touched my tongue but not alot of medicine touch i just feel the medicine when i press it
❤
i have shortness of breather
moon :3 me too
I don't feel comfortable using inhalers but I need it...thanks
Get well !
My niece had chronic Asthma since very young age but since when she started using Planet Ayurveda medicine, we are seeing gradual improvement in her condition day by day.
If you hold your breath for a 30 sec or a minute is that over doing it I mean if u keep the medicine in there longer is it better.
Shall I give you a recipe that treats asthma permanently and irreversibly, thanks to God?
my inhaler doesn’t work omgg help
My GP suspects asthma but my brown inhaler makes me cough more as it hits my chest so hard lol. I thought I must have been doing it wrong, but I follow these instructions exactly. Guess I'm just ultra asthmatic?
I have a natural treatment for asthma and chronic cough once and for all, thanks and praise to God
@@oumaymen6773 turns out it isn't asthma anyway. So I don't need your definitely not real treatment
I have really bad asthma as a kid right now :(
My doctor told me not to put the inhaler in my mouth?
Whah?
what tf?>|!?|
Well, where you spose to put it, then?
And if you don't put it in your mouth you aren't getting all the medicine you need. In the mouth you get it all outside and it spreads out so your not getting the correct amount
You don't put the whole thing in your mouth, just the mouthpiece part.
I have made a good faith effort to regularly sanitize my control & asthma inhalers in order to keep myself from contracting CoVid-19. However, I have heard that some sanitizers are both more effective as an antiseptic as well as capable of triggering an acute attack. I am a 37 year old male in New England, MA, USA. Is there anyone in the area who wishes to discuss these practical matters with me?
Just take the bottle of medicine out and wash the mouthpiece part with warm soapy water then let it air dry. If you're the only one using your inhaler, which you should be, it's your own germs anyway. Wash your hands before and after using it too.
i had shortness of breath for 4 days in a row non stop, decided to use my puffer again. dont think it helps but i only take 1 puff. last time i took two i got paranoid af i think thats why i stopped , but yolo in 2020 i guess
Ma'am I'm a from phillipines seriously I can cure asthma.i have a talent but I don't have a resources.i cured many people here in the Philippines.its just a enjury(tendons)that cause asthma.im not a doctor but I can cure asthma.thanks

What happened if you use an inhaler without a doctor recommendation
You will do wrong.
I don’t have asthma this just really interests me
Has any one on here suffered severe broncospasms after they used albuterol? I did and it’s scary as hell……
Shall I give you a prescription that treats asthma permanently and irreversibly?
Lmao worked so well I am one
My doctor didnt say anything
I know. But at least we I’m not that stupid.

Pharmacists are helpful people with this too and often not as overwhelmed
my doctor said gargle after each use... why am I the only one? in youtube no one seems to do that...
if you are using a corticosteroid inhaler there is a chance you can development a fungal infection called thrush, albuterol inhalers do not cause this
With young children it is best to get the medicine off the teeth so they don't get bad. Us as adults don't need to because we produce a lot of saliva to get it off our teeth. This is coming from my daughter's lung doc
Oh boy I bet I’m the un healthiest kid alive because I had asthma for months without inhaler, I have to stay up all night to make sleeping easier now I tend to cough a lot more and I hate that wheezing sound when u breath closing one side of ur ear with ur hand
All thanks to Dr.maduka who cured help me out from hepatitis B am so grateful sir
I'm always having an asthma attack every 3 fvcking AM! I know I'm not the only one.
Try getting a good medicine that you need to inhale in the morning and evening. Helps a lot
I don't have asthma, but I watch this for my boy best friend.I planned to buy him an inhaler..😔
May Allah bless you. You're greatly a kind one
I been with asthma for months maybe even a year it’s because of my cats I think
You should get a test for allergies
Everyone with asthma is usually tested, weird that your doctor didn't mention it
I have asthma its not fun to have it because you must not run or go out side when its cold and don't get cold
Dilopho saurus yea I know. When we do track at our school I never do well because of it and it makes life way harder
I was diagnosed with asthma too but it's not too severe. Whenever i run really fast for a short time i get extremely short of breath and i sweat so hard it feels like im about to pass out and my throat usually feels really weird,stuff like that only happens in my gym classes but other than that sometimes I would be chilling one minute and then in the next i randomly feel short of breath. Those are the only times ive had to use my inhaler
@@primeoctober thanks for telling me about something of you :)
I have Asthma but my asthma is only trigger when I run , bike riding or if I'm out in the heat to long, the cold weather doesn't effect my asthma. But my asthma is only mild tho.
Get well !
i have an inhaler and i did this method and doesnt do shit, thank goodness theres a nebulizer that works 95% of the time, if not i wouldve died from asthma
Jade Frenance same I have one too
The point of inhalers is to loosen up your airways not immediately cure you
I have wheezing but scared to use my inhaler its albuterol it says can make heart race and make u shaky or dizzy I dont wanna pass out or have hard time breathing what do u think... and its allergy not asthma for e
Why do you have to shake it before use?
To make sure the medication is properly mixed with the propellant gas
So the medicine and propellant gas is mixed together. Make sure to mixed it well
he losin air he kno it too gud
Well I am accustomed to have cough as long as I could .Some times I hate to do anything because of cough even though I console myself in calm occasion.,but cough hit me hard .I know that smoke hard air full of dust are causes of cough. Rapid remedy is useful to calm out of caugh
