Hi David, I have trouble using mine because I am too breathless to inhale slowly, any advice would be welcome

Olivia using a spacer does not require slow breathing .

Another suggestion I am trying is extending my exhale .

When you breathe out keep pushing as long as you can , you will find that the period increases thus getting rid of more CO2 which seems to make subsequent pursed lip breathing more effective .

I’m on Advair now and can’t use a spacer. I really need it now😩. But I have it put away for safe keeping
