Yes you can use inhalers but you have to be cautious. Do consult your cardiologist so as to be sure that your breathing trouble is not because of heart failure because in that case the inhalers will be of little help and your cardiac treatment will have to be optimised
Next Steps
Consult your cardiologist in person
Health Tips
Watch for chest pain, extreme breathing difficulty or palpitations in such a case see your cardiologist urgently
