It can be a side effect but it should reduce/disappear as the inhaler kicks in properly (which will take about 8 weeks - although I think the side effects usually go sooner than that!)

I note that you were on Fostair not long ago - has this been changed to Clenil? Are you taking any other meds or supplements?

I was advised to eat a banana to replace the potassium I lose on inhalers

Or a glass of fresh orange juice (not from conc) if you can’t stand bananas 😉😂
