Actually I'm posting this for a friend of mine. I haven't started using an inhaler yet but as I talked to her about the issue she expressed the following concern which I said I would post for her:
"I started having panic attacks shortly after I started iusing a steroid inhaler. I always wondered about the connection. But I have to wonder if the steroid inhaler directly caused the panic attacks, or if whatever caused the severe allergies (possibly magnesium deficiency) that required me to need the inhaler, also caused the panic attacks too."
I asked her if it were possible that there were other medications in the inhaler (like bronchodilators) but she didn't remember.
