Question: When a severe asthma attack hits and nebs are needed!?
If you're having a severe asthma attack, are you always able to set up your nebulizer by yourself in time!? Or do you ever need to get a family member to help you b/c the attack has hit so hard!? Does anybody live alone and if so, what would you do!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
I keep it by my bed and before I go to bed (its always worse at night) I put my medicine in my neb!.
that way when an attack hits i take it right then all you have to do is hit the power switch, if not its there for the morning when i regularly take it!.
my husband works nights so he cant fix it up for me and this seems to be the best way!. Always have it readyWww@Answer-Health@Com

If you ever get to a point that your asthma attack is so bad that you don't know if you can set up your neb in time, you need to be calling 9-1-1 so the Paramedics can help you!. Sometimes a neb treatment alone isn't enough to fix an asthma attack- you might need IV steroids to help bring the inflammation under control!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you are having this much trouble with a sudden attack, it sounds like you need to have your medication checked or switch doctors!. Daily asthma medication and knowing your triggers should help prevent this!. If this is a concern of your, have your nebulizer set up, so all you have to do is add the liquid medication to itWww@Answer-Health@Com
No, you are not always able to set up the nebulizer by yourself!. That is why sometimes you need to go to the hospital to have nurses take care of you!. It also works to have a family member put it on for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
