Need Prescription For Asthma Inhaler. Taking Xanax For Anxiety
Question: Can I receive a prescription tonight for an asthma inhaler from an online physician?
Details: I'm having asthma symptoms. Was recently at my physician about a week ago and ECG and breathing tests came out just fine, so it was diagnosed anxiety (xanax script). Happy to have xanax but that's not solving the problem. In the past I could get an inhaler from the local pharmacy; obviously that is no longer an option. Please advise. Thanks!

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I have gone through your query,you should understand it is not appropriate to get any prescription without physical examination. It would be unethical too.
You have been recently examined by physician and suffering from anxiety and treated accordingly.
You can also take up yoga and meditation to reduce anxiety.
If you have breathing difficulty one should not take any inhaler or medicine by yourself.
If your breathing difficulty is significant then you should visit ER to get proper treatment.
Hope this information helps to take proper action.
Please take care.
Good Luck.
