Have Asthma. Have Exposure To Cold. On Asthalin Inhaler. What Is Causing Headaches?
I am a 25 yr old male. I have asthma . And when I travel, because of the exposure to cold and change it climate, it triggers more of it. I have to sometimes use Asthalin inhaler 10 -15 times a day. My doctor had suggested Deriphyllin 150 retard, but it has been causing me headaches after regular initial usage. Is it normal ? Is inhaling that many times normal ?

Hello,
Your asthma is uncontrolled simply because you are needing to use the asthalin (emergency reliever) so often (10-15 times a day). If you need to use the asthalin more than 3 times a week and 8-10 puffs each time, you need to see your Chest physician to optimise your asthma control.
You may have sensitivities to aeroallergens like house dust mite, animal dander etc and along with temperature change/viral infections especially rhinovirus asthma can quickly get out of control.
A combination inhaler (long acting beta 2 agonists plus steroid) is reqd at this stage plus or minus leukotriene receptor antagonist like montelukast 10mg at night.
Regular use or excessive use of asthalin will cause headaches so will deriphyllin retard that prolongs the beta 2 agonist action. Occasionally it will lead to shakes or palpitations so do get in touch with your Chest Physician and sort this out as soon as possible.
Thanks.
