Has Anyone Used Xopenex In Nebulizer??
I am going to ask my doctor about Xoponex since Albuterol in the nebulizer leaves me very shaky, and my heart rate goes way up!
Albuteral Pro Air Vs Xopenex
I have used Albuterol Pro Air for several years as needed, but now my doctor is recommended Xopenex since it is not suppose to raise your heart rate. Has anyone used Xopenex and how did it work for you.

When Having Breathing Episodes, What Do You Do To Stop The Attack?
I recently returned a portable concentrator because its pulse settings failed to stop my breathing attacks once they have begun and decided the oxygen was better for me when I had breathing attacks. What do you think?
@ JudyHarrington when using oxygen tanks you may use a continuous flow or a pulse dose gauge connected to the tank and cannula in your nose, the pulse dose oxygen (1-5) settings comes out as you⦠read more
How Can You Tell What Stage COPD You Are In? Cannot Afford To See A Pulmonary Doctor.
I haven't has a pulmonary doctor for about 3 years now I guess. Just wondering how besides the 6 minute walk test they give you if there is anything else I can do at home to see what stage I'm in. I cannot afford to buy insurance and I cannot afford the medicare premium. I have 3 more months of spirivia left then that's it cannot afford $500 plus a month to buy it.
Write to the company or talk to your pharmacist if there is any plan that can help you

How Do You Deal With Twisted And Pinched Air Hoses?
Mine keeps getting all twisted. I'm only on oxygen at night. Keep the compressor in the other room. The hot keeps twisting and eventually causes a pinch or fold. I straighten it out every couple days. This is the first hose, only 6 months old.
Am I doing something wrong? Is it time for a new hose already?
Really?
My Lung Specialist Just Kinda Wrote Me Off ,been Seeing Him 2-3 Times A Yr ,last Appt. He Says That's It ,nothing Else He Can Do.π΅βπ«πΆπ’π
That was almost as painful as the original diagnoses
Thanks, @A MyCOPDTeam Member - may they all find each other in whatever next adventure awaits us all.

Has Anyone Used Xoponex?
I have been on various inhalers for COPD. None of them help since I can't breathe them deeply enough into my lungs. Doc put me on nebulizer, but the Albuterol leaves me very shaky and my heart rate goes way up. I'm seeing him again on 1-18 and will ask him about Xoponex which supposedly does not have the same effects as Albuterol. Has anyone heard of, or tried, Xoponex? Thank you.
Went to see my doc on 1-18, and just as I thought, I've got bronchitis again. He gave me a shot of prednisone since my breathing was rough, and a 6-day supply of oral prednisone, plus an antibiotic⦠read more
