Can someone with asthma use resperate?

Written by: Dr. Rowena | Posted: Oct 02 2008

Q: I have asthma, both allergy and exercise induced. Two questions: 1) Can asthma meds increase BP? and 2) Can RESPeRATE help asthma as well?

A: Yes, asthma drugs can raise blood pressure but not all of them have this effect. It is important for you to control both your asthma and blood pressure. Use of the RESPeRATE will not interact with medications used to treat asthma. Having asthma is not a contraindication to using the RESPeRATE. I am not aware of any clinical studies that have been done using the device to treat Asthma but it has been proven to help control blood pressure.
