Thriat constriction after nebulizing

Posted by marilynsm @marilynsm, Aug 7 6:23am

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.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the MAC & Bronchiectasis Support Group.

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.
