As a few will know I have had Cardio problems since 1997, fixed with quad CABG and later stents fitted. Had several issues with breathlessness and diagnosed with HF. All of these quite well managed these days.
Earlier this year just before everything kicked off I had had more breathing issues and had a spirometry test etc. Turned out I had now developed both Asthma & COPD. I was issued with both a Seebri Breezhaler & a Clenil Modulite inhaler.
Had to stop the Seebri because the powder irritated my throat somewhat but continued with the Clenil up to a couple of months ago. The Clenil gave me terrible oral thrush and no manner of cleaning teeth, mouthwash etc would relieve it. Last week however I had an episode outside during windy/cold weather that set it all off again.
They have now suggested I try a Ventolin inhaler but reading the leaflet gives me cause for concern and wonder if anyone else here has managed to get along with it.
