I dive with asthma (controlled) and have been warned not to take my reliever inhaler (ventolin/salbutamol etc) before or directly after i dive as it dilates blood vessels in the lungs and so could lead to bubbles being passes from the venous side to the arterial side - similar to the effect of a PFO. Could NO lead to similar? |
Diving docs generally recommend the blue (salbutamol inhaler) before diving for controlled asthmatics???
