why am i having pain in my legs

[sylvia44]

i was diagnosed in february this year after 4 years with copd. i am on seretide 500 and ventolin inhalers. i have noticed that just recently i have been waking quite a few times in the night with severe pain in the fronts of my legs, is this to do with my medication?

03000 030 555 M-F 10-6, it could be a side effect of the medication or it may be something else. Trying to work it out via a forum like this is near impossible, you'll get good advice from the BLF team

I have thought about seeing my Doctor and if it keeps on i will. I also have heart disease and take medication for that, i feel like a pill popper lol. let me know how you get on. Thanks for your reply.

Should definitely tell doctor about any leg pains or cramps straight away in case it is to do with the heart or arteries. Just to be safe.

I did see the doc who gave me a course of quinine which did help but since then I have been diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension and spent two weeks in hospital one of those in a specialist unit at Sheffield. I still have copd as well and I am on oxygen at home. Also new medication Sildenifil for pah. Thanks to everyone who replied and hope you feeling well.
