Chest Tightening
I reality I think i have lived with the problem most of my life but over the last few years i have really begun to suffer I take ventolin and
fostair
(steroid inhaler) which keeps my airways open an peak flow up, but my chest and ribcage PHYSICALLY SHRINKS AND TENSES UP, this destroys my biomechanics

struggling
Because of this, I have started to take 2 puffs of my
fostair
(2 in the morning, 2 in the evening), however this seems to make me shake excessively too. Sorry for the long winded post but I just wondered is all of this normal? This shaking thing has only occurred recently.

FOSTAIR, STEROID INHALERS AND ALTERNATIVES?
I am looking for some advice because I am so fed up of suffering with the side effects of inhalers. Does anyone know if there are any such things as non-steroidal preventer inhalers? Every time I use a steroid inhaler (preventer) for anything more than 3-5 days, I stiffen up. My whole upper body

Nedocromil / Tilade Inhaler
I am currently on
Fostair
and Qvar, 2 puffs 3 times daily. My cons has just added in Tilae / Nedocromil Inhaler, 2 puffs, 4 times a day. I took it for the first time this morning but it is such a strong puff of medicine that firstly it made me choke, then secondly, it takes foul and made me gag!

Fostair + spacers?
Hi Guys, Been up to the doctors today after struggling for the past few days and he's changed me from Clenil to
Fostair
( combined steriod and long acting reliever.) Firstly yeah no pred! :) Secondly was checking through the leaflet and it said
fostair
must NOT be used with a spacing device.

Symbicort
My cons mentioned a while ago about changing my meds from
fostair
to symbicort. At the time my asthma wasn't too bad so was reluctant to swap and 'upset the apple cart' as it were! However, after nearly 3 months of terribly uncontrolled asthma I am now thinking symbicort may be a good idea.

Chest & Phlem Problem
Hi, My asthma has been quite bad recently and my g.p. prescribed antibiotics, and prednisilone, along with a new inhaler (
Fostair
). I've finished both sets of tablets but I'm left with a nasty cough which sometimes produces phlem which is thick and sticky.

Fostair and spacers
Hi again, I have just had my meds changed from Symbicort (eating more of it than breathing it in) to
Fostair
. I asked for something that could be used with a spacer and now find that it clearly states on the side of the box not to use
Fostair
with a spacer.

LABA causing worse symptoms?
Symptoms improved but got leg cramps so swapped seretide for
fostair
, cramps improved but chest worse so given Symbicort instead, symptoms still worse so given flixotide and oxis, symptoms much better but still 2-3 times a week.

Fostair - Experiences?
Hey all, Just back in from seeing my asthma nurse and she's put me on the
Fostair
inhaler in the hope of better controlling it. I hadn't heard of it before - I'd be grateful if anyone on it/has been on it could let me know what its like, I just want something that works! Natalie

Fostair-keeping it in a fridge?
If you're on
Fostair
do you get similar warnings from your chemist and how do you keep it cold? Thank you.

Newbie - prevention of exacerbations
I would say I have moderate asthma (generally well controlled with
fostair
and salbutamol). Except that when I get a cold/cough I have ended up on steroids three times in last year - which is a lot for me (progression of disease?) - before that only had steroids about ten years ago.

Seretide/Fostair
However, I received a letter from my gp surgery telling me that they would like to offer me the chance to try
fostair
.

Fostair - anyone using this?
I did try seretide but that was no good so that leaves
fostair
. Anyone out there got experience of using this? Or any other suggestions I could try on my GP? Thanks

Was it an asthma attack?
For note - I used ventolin before my run (4 puffs) and I swapped from Seretide (250, 2 puffs twice a day) to
Fostair
(100/6, 2 puffs twice a day) about 2 weeks ago A long post I'm sorry and appologies if this has appeared on the forum before but I couldn't find answers in

Problem with fostair
A week ago my doc suggested increasing the
fostair
dose to 6 doses per day instead of the normal 4 this has helped a bit but I'm concerned that I'm exceeding that stated maximum dose . I'm currently on spriva, singular,
fostair
and cetirizine.

New inhaler
Hi, my asthma has recently got really bad, affecting my day to day activities and making me generally feel rubbish so the doctors have swapped me from symbicort 400/12 to
fostair
. Has anyone else been swapped like this and have they found that it helps? Thanks :)

Fostair
Hi, I've just been given
Fostair
, I've been on pred 2 weeks, start week 3 tomorrow now down to 20mg. My doc says I'm to take 4 puffs am and pm for a few days then down to 2 puffs am and pm. I'm a little worried as it says max dose 4 puffs daily.
