Advate

I was outside for maybe 20 min watching my kids play in a baby pool. The temp is 87degrees f and the humidity is 62 with a dew point of 75. I knew i wasnt getting the best of breaths but the build got scary when i could not move air properly in and out of my lungs. I did my inhaler a couple times but

Hi everyone, I have asthma and paroxysmal a fib. I’ve been on Flovent HFA for ever and recently the manufacturer is no longer making Flovent. I’ve had to resort to the generic Flovent which I feel it really is not working as the brand Flovent. I’ve been having more asthma exacerbation. I have an appt

Hi everyone, I have paroxysmal a fib and also asthma. I have been on a steroid inhaler for along time ( Flovent HFA ). Recently I have had to resort to the generic Flovent because the manufacturer is no longer making it . I’ve noticed a big difference in my breathing, it’s not working as good as the

I have moderate asthma. Due to pharmacy errors I had to take a 3-week break from taking Advair. I took my first dosage today and feel very jittery. Probably since the meds not being in my system for that long anyone else have this issue or have not taken a needed med for that long?

Diagnosed with asthma in 1972 and started on Ventolin. In 1987 I was rushed to hospital after suffering a severe asthma attack caused after taking two aspirin pills. Previously, I had been taking aspirin for years with no adverse reactions, but I was told that allergies can begin at any time of life.

Myself for not catching this sooner. The pharmacy for not cross checking the drugs. Or the doctors. My hubby is taking a boat load of medication (like who isn’t when you have this disease). We have a spreadsheet of all the medications and we provide copies to all the doctors. Below is the

To those who are on "systemic" drugs for allergic asthma, what do you notice in terms of control of your lung symptoms vs control of allergic symptoms in the eyes and the nose? Do the systemic drugs resolve the lungs, nose, and eye symptoms altogether, or do the drugs only work for some, but not for

From a few days I am experiencing bronch exacerbation with increased sputum which is dark. This time I decided to go to a different doctor who is also a bronch specialist. He told that I will have to have azithromycin long term; 6-8 months per year. The next thing he did is to change my inhaler from

I ended up in the ER last night via ambulance because of a sudden heart rate of 198 -- it literally felt like it was beating out of my chest. I was breathless and panicky. I was told it was SVT, which I never had, and was given a drip of various drugs. It went down to 150, then finally six hours later

I don’t think my asthma was properly diagnosed for years. I think I have an atypical type. I was exposed to noxious fumes in 2010, for only a few minutes. I was removing belongings from my late mom’s home after her bedroom floor was sealed against animal odors. The smell was so strong, it was February

Hello everyone. I'm pretty new so I thought I would say a quick hello. I am here because I got COVID in late October and had a pretty rough time with it. I am still suffering with labored breathing. The challenge is more pulling air into my lungs than breathlessness. During the acute infection,

Hi everyone, I have asthma and paroxysmal A fib. I have always been on Flovent HFA . Just getting over sinusitis and I’ve been having trouble with chest tightness . Ive had to use my rescue inhaler at least once or twice a day. I feel like the Flovent isn’t helping anymore. Is there anyone that has

Hi, I managed to see the nurse at my GP practice yesterday. I am wondering if any one else on Methotrexate, has vascular dermatitis or vascular eczema on their lower legs and ankles. It comprises of tiny red spots which are very sore and follow the line of the tiny capillaries just under the skin

Hi everyone and thank you for reading because I'm a bit at a loss. As my post title says, the doctor prescribed Advair, but the pharmacy gave me Wixela Inhub, fluticasone propionate and salmeterol inhalation powder 250 mcg/ 50 mcg. First of all, is this the same? Anyone here know if these 2 medications

Here we go again... another reaction to a new inhaler to try! Using Spiriva and have eye irritation and needed to see the eye doctor. He put me on an antihistamine eye drop and comfort drops. Seems like I have had a reaction to Advair and now Spiriva. He told me to use the drops for 1 week and see if

Hi everyone , Two years ago I was diagnosed with asthma. I have been taking Flovent HFA since then. No issues accept sometimes I do feel that I could use a little bit of opening up. Recently went to a new pulmonologist and Dr. recommended Breo . I liked Breo but it made me jittery and sometimes leg

Hi Everyone,Recently went to a new pulmonologist. Since I was diagnosed with asthma 2 years ago I have been using Flovent HFA 220. No issues, just sometimes feel like I need a little to open up things. So Dr. recommended Breo . I tried Breo but made me jittery and at times it caused leg cramps. So the

How much do people pay for their Asthma inhalers? Mine are $350 a month with my insurance. I am on Advair.

I've been on Symbicort 160/4.5 for almost 2 years for asthma. I just got new health insurance and they will only approve Advair Diskus. Should I be worried about it not working as well or getting sick from switching? Does anyone have any experience or advice? Thank you!

Hi folks, I have been living with asthma for only about a year and a half after having an asthma attack that landed me in ICU for 8 days. I am okay now and have not had any incidents since. But the last year and a half has been problematic and confusing because I am constantly feeling like my airways
