Thriat constriction after nebulizing
After my nebulizing treatment of Ipratropium followed by 4 ml 3% Sodium Cloride, my throat feels like it’s being pulled shut from behind. This can last for 2 days and makes me want to quit the treatment. Anyone else experience this? I do not nebulize albuterol due to heart racing effects, nor do I take the antibiotics. For me, with MAC, it seems like the treatments are worse than the disease.

I have always had difficulty with irpatropium - have you tried the saline without it?
Ask a doctor about levalbuterol instead of albuterol which is known for heart palpitations and shaking.
I also read online that Ipratropium can cause bronchospasms, which might be affecting you as well.
