What Treatment Is Advisable To Manage Shortness Of Breath Due To An Occlusion When Inhalers Do Not Provide Any Relief?
I had a lung evaluation test done and found that I have an occlusion. I have shortness of breath....my doctor had me try inhalers but they gave no relief. I am 83 yrs...should I just live with my shortness of breath or pursue more aggressive treatment? What else can be done besides inhalers?

Hello,
If you explain that inhalers don’t work than nebulizer can be tried as well. But it is your treating doctor that decide better what is the best for your actual condition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
