Up to 92 percent of patients who see a Charleston allergy and asthma doctor is using their devices incorrectly. Even if you\u2019ve been using your inhaler like a pro for years, it\u2019s always a good thing to double-check your technique with your Charleston allergy and asthma doctor and make sure you haven\u2019t picked up any bad habits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Priming Your Inhaler-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Most inhalers, except for DPIs and the breath-actuated inhalers, need to be primed when they are opened. Some inhalers will need to be primed before each use. Priming the inhaler is when you spray it away from people to get the inhaler ready for use. If you don\u2019t prime your inhaler, you may not be receiving the medication when you inhale.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Body Positioning-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The way you position your body when using your inhaler plays a significant role in whether or not your body responds to the asthma treatment. You should be standing or sitting straight and keep your head in a natural, upright position.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Holding Your Breath-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you inhale the puff of medication from your inhaler device, it is essential to hold that breath in your lungs for a minimum of ten seconds. If you don\u2019t hold your breath, you are not allowing the medication to absorb into your bloodstream, and you\u2019ll exhale it right back out.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> Connecting the Nebulizer-<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you use a nebulizer for your breathing treatments, you need to make sure all the tubing and the mask is tightly connected, and the medicine cup is also secure. The mask should fit snugly around the outside of your mouth and nose if you are using one. You\u2019ll also want to make sure you are breathing slow and steady breaths every 3-5 seconds rather than holding your breath. You should never wash your nebulizer tubing. Follow the instructions with your nebulizer for proper care instructions or ask your Charleston allergy and asthma doctor.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are struggling with controlling your asthma symptoms, make an appointment with a Charleston allergy and asthma doctor at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalallergyandasthma.com\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Allergy &amp; ENT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> today at 843-285-6578.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charleston Allergy and Asthma Doctor | Improper Inhaler Use and Asthma Control\u00a0 Charleston Allergy and Asthma Doctor | Making sure [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6665,8947],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-national-allergy-ent","category-charleston-allergy-and-asthma-doctor"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Charleston Allergy and Asthma Doctor | Improper Inhaler Use and Asthma Control\u00a0<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Don&#039;t wait!
