The symptoms of a panic attack are so frightening that an unusually large number of those with panic disorder (in comparison to other psychiatric illnesses) seek treatment on their own accord. However, easily half of those who seek treatment do so in general medical settings such as hospital emergency rooms and the offices of primary care physicians. Easily mistaken for severe and even life-threatening medical conditions such as asthma attacks and heart attacks, panic disorder results in disproportionately higher health care utilization than other anxiety disorders.

The effect of supplementary inhaled budesonide in acute asthma has been evaluated in a randomized, double-blind comparison with standard treatment in 44 children aged 6 months to 18 years with a moderate to severe exacerbation of asthma (26). Prednisone 1 mg/kg orally and nebulized salbutamol (0.15 mg/kg) every 30 minutes for three doses and then every hour for 4 hours were given to all children. In addition, each child was given 2 mg of nebulized budesonide or nebulized isotonic saline. There was a more rapid discharge rate in the budesonide group. There were no adverse effects. The authors concluded that nebulized budesonide may be an effective adjunct to oral prednisone in the management of moderate to severe exacerbations of asthma.
