    If you are having bronchospasm, I'm
    surprised he didn't prescribe a short course
    of pred. It's the normal treatment for this
    sort of thing.

    Albuterol wears off after a few hours and


    you're right back at square one once it
    wears off.

    hey im going thru something similar but i


    am on pred, the oral steroid and im scared
    to come off it just incase it alls starts back
    up, did your spasm ever go away? was it
    asthma you ended up having? :( my last
    dose of predd was this morning and my
    appointment with pulmonologist isn't until 4
    weeks from now so im worried lol

    Yes it does seem to be a form of mild


    asthma. I don't normally use my
    inhaler much these days. It seems to
    be triggered by allergies, or coming off
    a bad respiratory infection. But not
    very common for me, luckily. The
    inhaler helps with symptoms a bit, but
    eventually it just goes away as the
    spasms subside.
