Could be it just kicking back in as you not had it for a couple of days

I've recently been changed to fostair and I'm still coughing a lot but early days.

I am also on Fostair and I have cut right back on it as I have glaucoma and it can raise eye pressure. My peripheral vision loss is progressing so trying to cut down on medications that cause increased eye pressure including Fostair. Instead of having two puff morning and night I have been taking one puff in morning for a few weeks now. So far I am fine but if I have breathing problems I will increase it to one puff morning and night. I very rarely use my blue inhaler but I am being sensible about it all and would not risk my asthma xx
