A puff of an inhaler can kill you. When you inhale your lungs fill with air. But when the lungs fill with air, they expand, making more room for the oxygen to enter your blood. However, when the chest expands, the diaphragm cannot push out the excess air. This can cause the diaphragm to rupture, which can then lead to death.
The dangers of suboxone or subutex (generic versions) are as real as the dangers posed by opioids. These drugs are used to treat opioid addiction, but doctors sometimes prescribe them for other ailments, such as severe migraines, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.
