ANXIETY SUFFERERS - COPD - WHICH INHALER?
Hi All, I suffer from anxiety issues and formoteral (Fostair,
Symbicort
) seems to make this worse, if you suffer from anxiety, which inhaler do you take for asthma/COPD? Been around the houses with most inhalers and can not find the right one without horrible symptoms! Please help if you can.

Covid Vaccine - Am I Group 4 or Group 6
I am on Spiriva (tiotropium),
Symbicort
200/6 x 6 puffs daily and Montekulast. I have had 3 courses of prednisolone this year and my asthma still isn't well controlled. I am due back to work soon and feel consumed with anxiety at the prospect while the virus is still circulating.

Struggling with symbicort, any recommendations
I was on clenil but changed to
symbicort
8 weeks ago. They upped me to 2 puff twice a day as no improvement. I have constant wheeze and tight chest feeling. Anyone else had difficulty with
symbicort
?

Ventolin vs Symbicort
I’ve just been prescribed
Symbicort
instead of Clenil + ventolin. I understand the difference between the contents of the inhalers and when to use them. My question is about the reason for the different effect when using
Symbicort
as a reliever compared to ventolin.

Flare ups after reducing prednisolone
I did speak to a GP on Saturday who just told me to take 3 puffs of
symbicort
at night (which doesn’t seem to make a difference). Any advice welcomed :)

I’m normally prescribed DPI (

Asthma flaring for no reason?
Hi everyone, After several false starts, I finally got my asthma under control in the autumn with twice-daily
symbicort
(4 puffs of the 200/6 dose) and daily montelukast (10 mg).

Synbicort / spiriva: insomnia and tachycardia
My heart starts thundering within seconds of taking the
symbicort
, which isn’t concerning, but doesn’t help restless sleep!! Anyone else get this?

Symbicort and Baltus
Take both these powdered medications and I'm sure both these are leaving a residue at back of my throat as neither of them seem to work. I don't think it's getting down far enough. In the mornings I have a very coated tongue and have to use a scraper with quite disgusting residue. Ive tried everything

Do you ever go back to “normal”?
I was discharged with my 5 day course of steroids, and
Symbicort
SMART inhaler. I also take Fexofenadrine daily. I felt great - I really did! Back to being able to jog upstairs. By early October my breathing was starting to decline again.

Do I need steroids again?
I was put on
Symbicort
200/6 (2 puffs am, and 2 puffs evening. Also take Fexofenadine) 5 weeks ago I felt short of breath slightly with constant cold symptoms - GP again gave steroids and Montelukast. Everything cleared up.

Bad exacerbation - when to return to work?
Thanks to a full asthma review (possibly the first "proper" one I've ever had) in hospital, I'm now home with
symbicort
, pred, and then spiriva when pred runs out.
