Hi everyone,

First time posting here and need to ask a question.

Doctor put me on Clenil Modulite 100 (2 puffs twice a day) for breathing issues and it immidiately made my breathing worse. I carried on for exactly 7 days before deciding to stop completely. About 3 days after stopping I started feeling tired and lightheaded. Today is now day 10 after stopping and the tiredness feels better, but I am feeling very dizzy, even when sitting down. I have blood tests scheduled for Monday morning. Also, dont kbow if this is of any importance, but I am following a low carb keto lifestyle.

Could the dizziness be a result of stopping the inhaler?

Thanks for reading.

Do you have earache ? There's a mild sore throat going around where I am and I usually take a few antihistamine because my ears make me dizzy.

Also I get dizzy doing weights, as I get up. Never worried about it but I eat a lot : ). Doing keto probably making you dizzy, clenil doesn't do it to me, funny it's actually helping me.

Nope, no other issues, just the fatigue and dizziness.

I've stopped Clenil for the same reason. It was making my lungs feel even more clogged.

Dizziness is a known side effect of ketosis. Could you be restricting your diet too much? If this is the cause you need to consider if it is safe to continue the diet? If the clenil was making your breathing worse, I'd see the doctor again re asthma. Low oxygen levels in blood can also cause dizziness.

I found that I needed a longer lasting preventer inhaler than the clenil.
