This am: took my meds (nothing new), used my new but long prescribed

Anoro. Then had breakfast.

Suddenly, during breakfast, felt very ill, gasping for breath and all over body aching. Had to lie down.

Tested: temperature 36.1; pulse 80; but oxygen saturation just 88. Used Salmon inhaler (prompted by my wife as head in a whirl) Very soon Oxygen levels went up to 92 and I began to feel better.

Tried to get GP Practice but just got "all phones engaged". Feeling much better now I just sent the surgery a message and carried on with the day..

Hi. Much better now and surgery phoned and made an appt with respiratory nurse. Never had trouble with Anoro before but I'm wary of using this repeat. I'm wondering if it's rogue. Thank you for your replies.

That's frightening when that happens. Happened to me on a walk after starting trimbow, my breath just went completely. I really thought that was it. Trimbow went in the bin. You might actually get answers from your pharmacist. Worth a try 😉
