[furzdale1]

Hi does anyone suffer from palpitations after using symbicort been on it for a year just started happening past few days didnt use pump yesterday had non used it today and they have started up again

[memah]

Hi Furzdale1, I am using this and now after 2 years, have started to feel slightly 'light headed' after using first thing in the morning. I put his down to not being able to breathe in and hold for as long as I used to.

Dr suggests I get a chest xray then she will review the situation.

Hiya,

I've been on Symbicort for years now, and I get the shakes as well as palpitations, but the resp team seem to think that's normal???

So I just go with it, although not nice at times, especially when I suffer with anxiety anyway.

I hope that helped answer your question.

Regards

Kirsty

Hi

I've been on symbicort for years and years (though have recently changed to duoresp) and never had any kind of problem with it.

Makes me feel ill with headache stomach not right and weak muscles in legs and back

At times it's like having a mug full of strong black coffee.

Dosnt last long though.

My husband has been on it for years - his shaking is pretty bad but hasnt complained of palpitations - wont mention it though, he will surely have them if I do!! ha ha! Definitely a good idea to go back to the doctor. Lots of love TAD xx

Really think you should get check at the gp.

Do You use salbutamol as well as that can give heart wobbles.

I use simbicort inhaler twice daily. I swear by it

I've used Symbicort for over 6 years because I need it & I've never suffered heart palpitations. Maybe it's too strong for You.

My consultant double my dose, within two weeks I had terrible shakes, my gp took me off it and back to serevent and Qvar, a lot better now .

I took it for 3 years and the shakes and anxiety attacks started after 2 1/2 yrs. Pulmonologist put me on .5 xanax as needed and replaced the Symbicort with Advair. Have them check the dosage and time of day (mornings) were worse than evenings for me. Naturally everyone is unique. Sent with hope for a better tomorrow for you!
