MED NEB TREATMENTS

I have Emphysemia & take med neb treatments of xoponex & ventolin @ least every 4 hours. I stay on the med neb machine doing my breathing for 1 to 2 hours even though the med in gone long before that time. I also am on 02 continously.
Is this good for me to make the breathing exercise last that long or could it be bad for me??

The nebulizer does not provide any kind of breathing exercise.  The purpose of the nebulizer is to turn a liquid into a mist to be inhaled.  The medicines that you are putting in the nebulizer are short-acting bronchodilators that relax the tightness of the airways of the lungs for 4 to 6 hours.  Xopenex
