If you use the inhaler, be sure to rinse your mouth out after use...especially if it is one with steroids. These can cause thrush.

I also have this thing when I'm sleeping that all of a sudden I wake up from the sound of myself making a gasping sound. I guess its happening in my sleep. This I did tell my neurologist and he just said it sounds like my whole nervous system is "irritated" and to try Lyrica to calm it down. The Lyrica made me feel terrible so I don't take it.
