Hello ,

I am sure our forum members will be along to share their personal experiences, but in the meantime I would encourage you to discuss any new side effects with your GP or pharmacist too

Take care

Hi Jess, I have a tight chest but I have had a transplant. When I breath in deep I get s short Sharp pain. I never ask about it because it is always wait until everything settles down. Now has your lad had a transplant? Does he take the steroids to help with NAFLD? Try not to worry, make an appointment and get checked because steroids changes everything. I'm coming off mine slowly and I've noticed things.... I hope that this helps even if it just calms you..

Hi Jessie,I have AIH which I have had for almost 11 years. I am also asthmatic which I have had for over 25 years.

I am happy to say I have not had any problems with my asthma since I have taken Aza. Can I suggest you take your Aza at night as this might help you. I hope you feel better soon.
