Anyone here needing to take the above combination? I take the salbutomol (asthma pump) only when I do exercise as i have exercise induced asthma and beta blockers and flecainide daily.
I was on a different asthma med, but my pharmacy can't get supplies at the moment.
I am finding i need much longer to recover from good workouts as a result of the salbutomol (which doesn't go well with the beta blocker ... not surprisingly). The asthma seems to hang around longer and I feel more anxious (i think because of a higher heart rate).
If anyone has any tips on how to deal with this I would be most grateful.

My understanding is that beta blockers should not normally be prescribed for people with asthma to start with.
Regarding any extreme exercise whilst I understand that some people are driven to this it is important to listen to your body and adjust intensity to suit.
Ask to try montelukast. I'm on it and the next morning my breathing was lovely and clear. I haven't touched the blue inhaler for a year or more. I'm PAF and take rivaroxaban and cetirizine daily which play nice with the montelukast.
