Using breztri

Hi just started this and reading about this.You are supposed to make sure not to breath in to soon or to late but doesn't say when.should I breath in for a few seconds then push button while I continue to breathe.? Also do you keep it in your mouth while holding breath for 10 seconds or take it out.? Sorry for these dumb questions but I ave anxiety and am really nervous about taking this.Can someone who takes this please let me know.Thanks,so much.

    Here is how I do it, from instructions from my pulmonologist. First, after priming the inhaler according to written instructions, I exhale using pursed lip breathing to completely empty my lungs. Then place the inhaler between my lips, making sure there is a seal between my lips and the inhaler, and inhale while pushing down the inhaler, or pressing a button, depending on the inhaler. Inhale as big as you can, then hold it for a few seconds, and then exhale. That's it. You shouldn't be nervous about it at all. It will only take a few times doing it and you won't' even think about. You will just do it. Take care and God Bless!

    1. Thank you !Did you have,any side effects? How,soon did you notice a difference?

    I noticed a difference right away. Breathing was much easier and I could deep breathe. Since Breztri has a coritcosteriod in it, you need to rinse and gargle after using it. Do not swallow the water you rinse with, but spit it out. This will prevent a Thrush infection in your mouth and throat. I had no side effects at all. Take care and God Bless!

    1. Thanks .I just realized I'm not on breztri,I am on breyna.it is generic symbacort. I just had breadth in my head I guess because I've heard of it and never heard of breyna. The inhaler instructions are the same as yours.thanks for your answer!
