Do I continue with symbicort 400 inhaler, whilst I am on rescue pack of 5 day, 8 per day, prednisolne +14 day coure of clarithromycin, I am currently on day 2 of all this medication & am feeling quite breathless+ nauseous & a dry metallic taste in my mouth, was wondering will those symptoms subside as time goes on, I have asthma + bronchiectasis..All advice greatly received...Thank you..x

Hi Primrose, I would definitely carry on with Symbicort. I have Asthma and Bronchiectasis too and I have always been told by consultants to carry on with it, if anything you might need to increase it. All the best.

Thank you, CaseyC for your kind reply, I personally called the surgery a few weeks ago to ask if I could increase my Symbicort 400 from 2 puffs daily, to 4 puffs as I had started to feel quite breathless, I did not get to see a GP, as the receptionist asked me my problem & said she would speak to GP & let me know, she called me back & said the GP said that will be OK to increase the puffs so my repeat prescription was changed to 4 puffs, so I feel that I am currently on the highest dose of Symbicort & that I could not possibly increase that amount, I actually felt that perhaps going back to 2 puffs would maybe help along with the rescue pack, as that is maybe what is causing my problem.. Thanks again CaseyC..I wish you good health for the future, love & God bless..xx

Thank you, Northern Girl3, for being kind enough to reply, Yes, I do lung clearance each morning, I keep wondering if by increasing my Symbicort is maybe my problem, I just dont know for sure..Take care, Northern Girl3, & many thanks for your kind reply.. love, & God bless..xx
