Wow, how does that work? I would think that it would upset it....
My doctor says that the way I breathe while playing is very good.
Taking big breaths that a normal person would not take, and having a controled exhale ia all beneficial for my asthma problem.
Most people also do NOT know how to use an inhaler.
You should empty your lungs as much as possible,
Take as deep a breath as possible while inhaling the medication,
Hold your breath and you should feel the albuteral opening up your lungs, when you feel this happening, try to inhale even more without letting air out.
You should get an instant relief.
I watch many people use their inhalers and I am amazed that MOST do NOT use them correctly, and complain that they are not helpful.
