Headaches??? Really i have been getting headaches recently
I hate the new HFA inhalers
I have been a chronic user of the old inhalers for years and i never complained, I actually really liked them. I have been on a ventilator 3x and I am only 24 years old. The most recent hospitalization was the worst. I have been found to have an under productive heart. They did exploratory lung surgery and also gave me a chest tube and took numerous lung samples. I honestly believe that this was due to the new inhalers. Whenever I take the new inhalers I feel slightly better (not much) approx. 1/3 of the the way the old ones made me feel. I feel slightly better after about 15 minutes, but as soon as I take it I actually have a harder time breathing and it just SUCKS!!!

Albuterol HFA is literally killing me.
I have had asthma all my life and I know how to manage it very well. 8 weeks ago I came down with a chest cold which aggravated my asthma. So I started using the new inhalers... 8 weeks, three different antibiotics, and two HFA inhalers later, I'm barely keeping from being hospitalized... lungs are filled with brown crap.... blew out a major blood vessel in my eye from the coughing yesterday... now have fiull-blown pneumonia....
....and I just figured out that it is indeed the propellant is killing me. I found one of my old CFC inhalers, used it, and instantly feel much MUCH better. There's no doubt.
I am very very angry, and very very ill...
OMG....
