If there is going to be a breathing problem for an asthmatic wind musician taking Inderal for performance anxiety, will the problem only occur under the stress of a performance, or could my breathing reaction to propanolol be tested in non-performance situations? The kind of asthma I have is reactive airway disease. Thanks, Green Willow
> Adrenaline will dilate (open) small blood vessels in the lung. Asthma bronchiale is a hyperreactive bronchial system with eosinophil inflammation. Mastcells will release histamin and bronchioli will be constricted. Adrenaline dilates blood vessels and is good for O2 oxygen saturation of blood in the lung what you need! Betablockers are scaling down the diameter of blood vessels because it blocks adrenaline.
