Last Christmas , i had a nasty virus which developed into bronchitis. I was given antibiotics,steroids and a blue inhaler. The GP also referred me to the Astma Nurse at the practice. She proceeded to give me a brown preventative inhaler but it does not seem to agree with me. I take lanzoperazole for acid reflux but since having the inhaler
It has got really severe and now i have gastritis. Could this be a coincidence? Please help!

Hi, my asthma was "switched on" after a bout of pneumonia , but looking back I had always been short of breath when walking up hills or running, and I had whooping cough as a child too. I was given a preventer and Salbutamol after the pneumonia.
My adult daughters asthma occurred after a wheezy chest infection, but one had eczema and a cough from being a baby,,,it was not diagnosed for years.so I guess it's part genetic and part trauma.
About your brown preventer inhaler...there are different types, have you tried another one. I find I get on better with just a separate brown and blue one, rather than a combined long acting bronchodilator and steroid.
