Side effects from inhaler?

[Nesiar78]

Does anyone ever have swelling in arm or leg accompanied by pain. Lasts a day or two then goes away but eventually it happens all over again. I was wondering if it had anything to do with using my rescue inhaler a lot

I'd check with your doctor. I will have issues where my foot or toes will draw up for about 30 seconds that hurts a lot but not anything like you've described.

I had that problem when I used Symbicort. My feet would cramp up for over an hour. Usually in the middle of the night. It was very painful! As soon as I quit the Symbicort, the extreme cramps we're gone.

Yep that's the one I'm on! LOL! If it gets to the point of an hour I'll have to change so hoping that doesn't happen!!

I hope it doesn't happen to you either. The Symbicort worked great for my asthma/COPD symptoms. I just couldn't handle the side effects. I also became very depressed and gained weight on it without changing anything in my diet. Best of luck to you. Stay safe and healthy!

Oh no that's awful! Thank you-same to you! I hope you can find one that doesn't bother you so much!
