New strategy,no matter what you may have heard,aLABA,such as the one in Advair,is not your only option.mild asthma,an inhaled corticosteroid such as flovent is often all you need.Still wheezing,patients can also consider an inhaled corticosteroid paired with a leukotriene modifier.Hope this helps you,and doesnt worry you.
I am usually on prednisone, albuterol, advair, and an allergy pill---none of those are working either. I cannot sleep throughout the night because I wake up gasping for air. I cannot excercise let alone take a shower and brush my teeth without being exhausted due to shortness of breath. I am 30 years old, 150 pounds, 5 ft 6 in. I developed asthma at age 13. I had a surgery at the age of 6 wks old called Total Anamalous Pulmonary Venous Connection. Please please if you can help-----HELP.
t work very well, then we went to ADVAIR, which the insurance company encouraged me to change her from because it was so insanely expensive and now she is taking Dulera (which I think is working better than ADVAIR was) one puff each in the a.m. and p.m. and then using a rescue inhaler when needed for the exercise. Her asthma is controlled, now, however, she has REALLY started shedding her hair and it is freaking us both out. This could have actually started back when she was on ADVAIR too.
My ability to taste started to come back within about a week of stopping the Advair. I went back on the Singulair and found it not to be a problem. Three weeks after stopping the Advair my sense of smell returned rather suddenly, over a couple of days. It came back in sporadically, like suddenly I smelled the chicken I had cooked, then could not smell anything again that day.
I was tested for allergies 10 years ago, and the tests showed allergies to dust mites. I controlled it through environment. The symptoms I was having at the time (sneezing uncontrollably for hours in the mornings) went away, so I figured I outgrew them. Around the same time I had stomach problems and was diagnosed with acid reflux. I took meds for several years and then went off when the symptoms went away.
Have and virus and trying not to have to take antibiotics & so far I'm ok just tight and lots of mucous. I began taking advir 2 puffs twice daily & guiafenasen DM but after 6 days I'm better but still having thick mucous good color but chest is tight, any suggestions?
My fev1 was 56% pre and went up 24% post. My pulmo put me on Advair 250/50 twice daily. In the beginning it made me feel better but now I have constant side affects. I have dealt with thrush I don't know how many times and I always wash my mouth out and make sure that i drink something afterwards to clear the residue from my throat. I have charlie horses all the time or leg cramps in my feet and my legs. I eat bananas daily to keep up on my potassium.
thank you for the feedback. I have not taken prednisone at all, my brother went off Advair a few months back so when this bruising became so pronounced it was the first thing I thought of. I am going to get the blood work done but am also going to talk to my asthma doctor about getting off the Advair.
Is it safe to stop taking Advair cold turkey when my symptoms improve or do I need to take something else to come off it slower?
I have been cautious about creating any sort of quick, drastic, pressure change in my mouth but now, I wonder about the use of my Advair diskus. I take Advair on a regular basis for asthma and have refrained from using it in the 24 hours post-extraction because I figured the quick inhalation may dislodge the clots. Now, however, it has been two days post-extraction, and I wonder whether it is safe to use Advair without risk of dislodging the clots.
I have had asthma since I was nine years old, and I am now 42. I CAN NOT take Advair, it almost killed me. Not all asthma medication are good for every asthmatic. In my twenties, Serevent started to cause me problems and I had to stop taking it. A few years ago, my asthma got out of control, and my new doctor prescribed me Advair. Every time I took it, it impaird my breathing dramatically. Thank God my doctor changed my medication.
The daily meds keep the inflammation in the airways down, so I would think that tapering off the meds as long as the asthma is not necessarily under control would not be a good idea! I understand the desire to be off the meds, though! Who wants to take all that nasty stuff?!
A few questions: Has she been tested for allergies? If she has not, that would be most worthwhile. Knowing your triggers can help prevent attacks.
Reactive airways disease (RAD) is another term for asthma that is used when the problem is not clearly asthma. Has there been a differential for asthma or RAD. To know for sure if the symptoms are due to asthma you will need to have testing done. Generally testing starts with a simple breathing test called spirometry. This respiratory test provides detailed information about how his lungs are working. It will show if there is obstruction of the airways.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced or heard of what I call "conversation-induced" asthma? I have seen a bit of information on laughter-induced asthma and suffer from exercise-induced asthma but can't find anything about asthma that comes on from simple talking. I usually begin to feel chest tightness and hoarseness if I am talking for more than 5-10 minutes. I begin producing mucous and albuterol does offer some relief.
I have had several problems with advair such as thrush and irregular heart beat. Also, my endocrinologist suggested that my osteopinia (sp?) could be related to advair use but it's just one possible culprit. I'm a runner and just finished a marathon and got thrush again from advair so decided I wanted to at least take a break from it. Well, it's been a few days and I have never had such breathing problems before I used advair, I have a constant headache and I'm exhausted.
I have fitness induced asthma, and my doctor put me on advair or something like that. And the next few days after taking it, I got really bad chest pains when I'd run. Has that happened to anybody else? Should I worry?
My husband is also on Spiriva and Advair. He also has a recue inhauler. They are not working as well as they use to. I agree with mary59az, use of O2 may help with the breathing. Are you a diabetic? If so, your sugar level may be low, and you may need a boost. Try to eat more protein foods to boost your enegry level a bit. I know your illness only gives you limited mobility. I hope you feel better. I'll stop by again to check on you. May god bless you and watch over you..
t really tell if Advair was making a difference or not. I informed my pulmonologist who then prescribed me Advair 250/50. However, pharmacists were saying that Advair didn't seem necessary. Instead they recommended a scheduled dose of albuterol everyday. I have stopped Advair after the first month and my breathing or rather, shortness of breath neither improved or worsened for the two weeks. However, another two weeks later, I feel that my breathing is worsenening a little.
