Hey everyone,

Im gonna reply with the opposite opinion, hehe.. from what others have said, I may be wrong, if they do trigger panic attacks then dont use an inhaler for anxiety..

However, I recently saw my dr when I had a chest cold, and was finding it very hard to breathe which in turn made me very anxious (I have GAD) I was panicking that I would stop breathing. He gave me two puffers which I used and they helped. They open the airways, and often have a psychological effect.. they did on me, haha.. when I used the puffer I became less anxious.

I dont know if this is the correct thing to do, I am just saying it worked for me.. often when I feel like I can't breathe I use it just once, and it usually helps.

Hope you feel better,

Kel xx
