Ventolin

[Alice70]

Hi ,haven't be very well since late December had a few days in hospital with chest infection ,and pulled musles between my ribs so painful ,but getting there ,I very often feel nauseous it's been going on for months ,I had a stomache examination were they put tube down to have a look found nothing wrong ,I am being to think it maybe caused by ventolin Has anyone else found that ventolin makes them feel sick

[Hidden]

Sorry to hear this, nausea is horrible. Ventolin has never made me feel nauseous and I’ve had the nebules which are much stronger than the inhaler. But it doesn’t agree with everyone so why not ask your gp for a different bronchodilator?

[Alice70 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you hanne ,it may not be the ventolin I am going to try being without it today

[MELNEL]

Hiya, I am sorry that you have been so poorly. I believe that is a side effect of ventolin, I agree with the comment below, speak to your GP that you feel nausea when taking ventolin, that you get a different inhaler that suits you better. I hope that you can get this sorted, you take care and get in touch with your GP 🌺🌺🌺

[Alice70 in reply to MELNEL]

Thank you Melnel I will speak to my gp he has prescribed antibiotics sick tabs for me twice last year

[Patk1]

No but GERD is extremely common with bronchiectasis.i take omeprazole

[Alice70 in reply to Patk1]

I always did take omeprazole they were making me very bloated so changed to Naztalidine (spelling)thanks you patk

[Patk1 in reply to Alice70]

Maybe worth talking to dr if still having symptoms as may be able to adjust dose for u x

I was just wandering what other medications you were are on? Nausea is a common side affect of many. Ventolin can cause problems but I wonder why it is causing problems now? How you been using it more over the last few months? I have a number of pain syndromes and the pain at times can make me feel nauseous. With your very painful ribs and chest I just wonder if that could be part of the problem.

[Alice70 in reply to Badbessie]

It could be agrevating things ,the other med it could possibly be is the azithromycin I take three times a week

[Patk1 in reply to Alice70]

Do u take it with food.may help x

Sorry to hear you've not been well Alice, Im on Salamol and it seems fine. Sorry about the spelling. Have a word with your GP or respritory nurse sure they will advise you what to do. Have a lovely day and take care 😊 Bernadette and Jack 🐕 xxxxxx 🌹

[Alice70 in reply to Damon1864]

Thank you Bernadette will do I'm going to watch what I take to see if I can rule out the cause

[paula66]

Do you take uniphyllin by any chance as this drug gave me so much nausea xHope your feeling better x

[Alice70 in reply to paula66]

No I've never taken that medication

[Hidden]

Hello Alice. Nausea can be a side effect of azithromycin. Make sure that you take it with food. If the nausea persists and you can't put up with it, talk to your consultant about nebulised antibiotic instead.

[Alice70 in reply to Hidden]

I am beginning to wonder if it is the azithromycin now ,I'm going to watch, I only take it three times a week

[Hidden in reply to Alice70]

3 x a week is usual. I took it for 5 years and if I did not take it with food I would feel sick.

Hi Alice. Have you been coughing lots? I always do when my chest gets infected and hurts so much. I feel sick and get water pouring out of my mouth from my stomach. I use omeprazole but also just a normal anti inflammatory and that does help me to.

[Alice70 in reply to Freyadog123]

I have been coughing a lot ,wondering if it a combination of things thank you freya

[Collie4]

Hello, sorry you haven’t been too good. We’re all different but i found azithromycin made me nauseous. Have a word with your gp. It’s not nice to feel nauseous all the time and we shouldn’t have to.

Take care. 🙂

[Alice70 in reply to Collie4]

I have a telephone appointment with my consultant early March, I will definitely mention it to her ,thank you collie4

Hello Alice, Ventolin can cause stomach problems like nausea, idigestion ect . Are you taking any painkillers ? as they can cause feelings of nausea too and just thought you might be using some as you have muscle pain in your ribs. Not easy to work out the culprit but as the stomach test was clear , then time to try and elliminate other possible causes before seeing a Gp again. Its aweful when you feel unwell but they can't find a cause. I really do hope you can get to the bottom of it soon but these things take so long on occassions I've just waited four month for advice from a consultant now I have to have a barage of tests as he found something else wrong. Hey Ho here we go again I usually say, as you get older you don't need all this I spent 7 hrs at hospital for nothing my Gp can do the tests that are needed via the surgery. Have a nice day, stay safe and get well soon. xx

[Alice70 in reply to katieoxo60]

Yes I am on pain killer at the moment ,I felt nauseous on and of for months now ,I have got telephone consultation with consultant early March I am going to mention it to her ,same to you Katie stay safe and thank you

[CDPO16]

Hope you get to the bottom of your nausea soon Alice, it's very unpleasant. Best wishes x

[Alice70 in reply to CDPO16]

Thank you cdpo

I found you post interesting because I suffered off and on for years with feeling nauseous and bouts of vomiting. Had lots of tests including cameras down throat, with no real answers. I then mentioned problems to a new gp who straight away said he knew what problem was!! I am diabetic and he says commonly diabetics develop a lazy bowel so food gets stuck in stomach!! I now am on tablets 3X a day and rarely have issues. I REALLY feel for you because regular nausea and sickness is horrible and (in my case) it was such a relief to finally find a doctor who diagnosed problem straight away.Hope you get some answers quickly.

[Alice70 in reply to Bevvy]

Thank you Bevvy I am not diabetic, I just think I make a lot of acid bloating ,when I take medication for that I can still feel sick ,what meds do you take for it

[Bevvy in reply to Alice70]

If you feel the reason is due to stomach acid then my meds (apart from omeprazole for reflux) won’t help you.

[KaraKim]

Interested in your post because I've had the same thing, it's like morning sickness when pregnant ( I'm post menopause) I've had it on and off for a year now, always 1st thing in the morning as I take my meds so now I eat a ginger biscuit and have a cup of tea as soon as I wake and this helps. GP practice have referred me for various tests but still none the wiser as to why this happens! Could it be phlegm building up in our throats during sleep? I find Ventolin essential for clearing my airways, not sure if it is the reason for my morning sickness ( I've been on Ventolin prior to the sickness bouts) but I retain an open mind!

[Alice70 in reply to KaraKim]

Often first thing in morning although had it after my tea tonight ,I'll have to get to the bottom of it as it is horrible

[Alberta56]

Sorry to hear you've been poorly for so long. It sounds really horrible and draining. Ventolin has never made me nauseous. I hope you can get to the root of the problem and soon start to feel better.
