alarming event and further update on trimbow

[MrsP70]

so, I have been persevering since Feb with the Trimbow ,not been happy at all.

After a few weeks started to wake up with a whistle wheeze but it is gone during the day.

Hoarse voice and some excruciating sore throats too which disappeared in the day and a irritating cough dau and mostly night ,I had none of this before I went to the Drs.

At 4am this morning woke to the wheeze and coughing and coughed a hanky full of black mucus

I am making app to see Dr but I haven’t taken this mornings trimbow,

Scared

That sounds alarming. Did you manage to keep any mucus for testing? Let us know what the doctor says. Take care xxx

My appointment isn’t until 10: 20 this morning ,I think it’s the Trimbow …well really hoping so .

I didn’t know it was going to happen I got some tissue and used that it was a mouthful, anything I have coughed up befor is usually clear and very little at most .

I have put that down to the Trimbow irritating me.

Thanks for reply will keep you posted

I think you have done the right thing in getting an appointment with your GP, hope it is just the Trimbow.

[MrsP70 in reply to Welshcatlady]

Me too, in Feb when I started Trimbow I had gone to the Drs with worsening breathlessness that had been going on for at least three years I had no cough, no sore throat or hoarse voice …so I am holding on to the thought that it the Trimbow 🤞

Hi,When I started with trimbow about 2 years ago I had a bit the same. Every morning I did my 2 puffs the coughing was horrendous. Sometimes it was so bad that I couldn't breathe and had to sit down for a few minutes. I couldn't take the puff's just before I drove my car because of the coughing.

But over time it became better and better. Now I can't go anywhere if I don't have my morning and evening dose. I rarely have coughing fits in the day and I don't have any rattling going on.

I must admit ( my respiratory nurse will tell me off) sometimes when I have breathing problems I dare to take 3 puffs instead off 2.

It really helps me. I can't function without Trimbow.

Please be aware; this works for me and I understand that everyone is different.
