Preventer Dilemma!
I was initially on beclamethasone (brown) preventer 250, twice a day, a few years ago whilst in hospital I was changed to
symbicort
(red/white), and a couple years later seretide (purple)250. I am really bad for remebering to take my preventer.

Symbicort club
I take
Symbicort
400/12. Started off with lowest dose -
Symbicort
100/6 - and worked up to now current dose of four times inhalations per day of 400/12 Symbocort plus other meds. I've found this combination by far the best for relief from EIA ( exercise induced asthma ).

Cough cough cough
Sunday evening I coughed for England, I took Loratadine for the hay fever, Singular, and my
symbicort
and ventolin, It took a couple of hours but eventually quietened down and I was able to sleep. However woke the next morning coughing again, not so bad but it makes me so tired.

Alternatives to preventer inhalers?
I have also tried
Symbicort
, Formeterol (on its own, which I have been told should not be prescribed as a stand alone treatment) and Serevent. What happens is, I try one of these long acting preventers and stop using them after a maximum of 4-5 days as the back pain is awful.

What's going on?
Last time i saw the asthma nurse she suggested i try to reduce the
symbicort
to see whether i could use less (on the basis that its always good to use the minimum i need ).

Is this a symptom?
I have asthma and use
symbicort
(4x200/6) and bricanyl but lately i've started to have a strange symptom. Whenever i do anything - including walking upstairs - i start panting like an old woman whose run a marathon!

Is shaking / trembling & cramps to be expected?
I've gone from Becotide alone to Becotide & Serevent to
Symbicort
and back again. Serevent gave me cramp, so the nurse put me on
Symbicort
. This made me feel very odd; uncharacteristically anxious and shaky so my GP recommended a 2 week 'rest' of Becotide only before re-introducing Serevent.

The new Symbicort SMART inhaler
I was wondering if any of our esteemed medical professionals has had any direct experience of this-either personally or prescribed to their patients-is it as good as it sounds?-I ask this because although my Seretide has undoubtedly done me some good,I would prefer not to take any steroid medication

Symbicort and anxiety attacks
I read that
symbicort
can cause depression like symptoms but nothing about anxiety. I'm not normally anxious even when I'm stressed out at work. Any thoughts gratefully received. Sonja

A bit of advice re strange feelings in my chest
But... the doctor has upped my
symbicort
for a month and what I want to know is whether this heavy, tight feeling in my chest could really be my asthma getting worse - I'm just confused as my peak flow isn't changed.
