For Asthma, acute "Unfortunately, I have to decline. I don’t like Proventil at all! I used just about every HFA inhaler that you can think of: ProAir, Qvar, Ventolin, and Proventil. And I must say, out of all of those that I listed, I like Ventolin the most! It actually does the job! ProAir is too soft, and in my opinion, doesn’t really do the job. You basically have to take more than four puffs for it to work. Qvar is okay. Proventil makes my chest feel tight, and I get crazy chest pains. When I breathe in and out, it hurts, and I feel like it didn’t really do its job. The whole purpose is to rescue me from an asthma attack. But, in fact, it makes the breathing a little more difficult and gives me crazy chest pain. I never experienced this with Ventolin. And FYI, I have allergy asthma. I hope I’m saying it right."
