if you use an asthma pump

I have pregnancy induced asthma, bronchitis and MS- the trifecta.

My non pregnant friends who use an asthma pump say it's common to throw up after using it. I haven't been using it as directed because it's so disgusting and if I don't vomit I gag. Was this your experience too? Will I get used to it? I'd rather wheeze than vomit lol

Re: if you use an asthma pump

I have used mine throughout my pregnancy but i haven't vomited from it. My thinking is i'd rather be able to breathe. If you are really struggling for air you need to use it, you don't want to deprive yourself and baby of oxygen. Talk to your doctor, maybe there is something else they can give you. Hope it gets better!

Thanks. Which one do you use?

Re: if you use an asthma pump

Proventil. I haven't needed it as much lately but when it was really humid was when i used it more. Baby has dropped so i'm feeling more relief now.

Re: if you use an asthma pump

I never got sick from it. but I would def use it if you need it.

Maybe ask your doctor for a different brand. Maybe that would help.

Re: if you use an asthma pump

I didn't have MS so I can't relate to how that feels.

However, I DO have asthma, that was made worse with my first pregnancy (and better w/ the second) go figure.

But I will tell you it a terrifying feeling when you can not breathe. And although I've never had MS, I have been sick and I'd rather feel nauseaus all day then feel like I can't breather for 5 minutes.

I've also NEVER gotten sick from asthma meds - no nausea either.
