Pulmonary research

Hello, I am new to this group and look forward to getting some information from others here. I found out after a heart attack in 2006 I had pulmonary hypertension and COPD. I was scared at first , but now just live each day as it comes and make the most of it good or bad. My main problem is how do the pulmonary field of doctors and researchers expect people like me to inhale a drug on a bad day. When every breath is a struggle. I feel like screaming to the to of my bad lungs "COME ON" if i cant breath how can i inhale ? Dont get me wrong on most days I do fine, its when I am in respiratory distress (due to a infection, etc.) that it is impossible to get the meds in, and then is when we need them the most. I understand how most of these doctors have never known what its like to struggle for a breath, but common sense should kick in and tell them , WE cant inhale if we cant breath! I know there is prednisone out there to swallow ( I keep it on hand) but trying to inhale SpIriva , or symbicort, albuterol etc. Is not possible to do correctly when you are breathless. Yes, I have a nebulizer , but on really bad days I would have to stay hooked up to it 24/ 7 to help me. I also on oxygen which helps but in a full blown non-breathing day the only thing that comes close to helping is staying on my c - pap machine ( i use a nasal) till help comes via ambulance. Thank goodness , this has only happened to me a few times, but when it does I want better alternatives than what we have now with the inhaled medicines that cant be inhaled on bad days. I know i am not the only one out there that has had this problem, and would love some feedback form you. They want to bring down health care cost for people like me, then they have got to do better medicine wise anyway. I love my Spiriva, symbicort etc, but that's when I can breath enough to inhale it. I know no one want to go to the hospital , but when you cant breath its the only choice we have. I keep antibiotic , prednisone on hand at home to try and fight off a infection when I feel it coming on , but sometimes its not enough and in the hospital I go because I cant breath enough to inhale my meds. So there goes thousand of dollars for my hospital stay , because I could not inhale my meds enough to stay at home and get better. Thanks for this group, Terri
