Panic Attacks with new diagnosis and fear of the unknown: What helps?

If you keep track of your salt intake and keep it under about 1300 mg a day , 3% saline inhalation should not raise your blood pressure. It has not raised mine but I do count my salt intake. It has made a huge difference in my symptoms so I would think long and hard about giving it up.

So the doctors have you using hypertonic saline instead of Albuterol?

Liz,
I know you mean well with your comments. The levabuterol was the main culprit in elevating blood pressure.
One of the side effects of saline is being constantly thirsty. I could not get enough to drink, even drink 6 to 8 16 oz bottles of water a day. All I tasted was salt continuously. I stopped all salt after feeling constantly thirsty.
I am working with my Doctor to come up with an alternate plan like 0.9 saline solution.
I do not appreciate your comment that I should think twice about giving up the saline solution and that my body should handle it. All our bodies are different and who are you to say what my body can handle.
