5037123 tn?1362663006 The constant coughing could cause muscle strain and back pain. Sometimes the pleura, the lining of the chest cavity and lungs can get inflamed causing pain with coughing. The pain can also be due to orthopedic related causes like cervical rib, cervical spondylosis or disc prolapse. So, don't worry and discuss these options with your doctor. In the meantime continue with your inhalers and take OTC naproxen for relief from pain. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar f tn t hurt the baby but I did have the flu really bad months ago and was coughing so hard I pulled stomach / chest muscles which hurt horribly.
Avatar m tn I have been coughing since September. I caught a bad flu and after that I can't stop coughing. I also went to Asia for the first time in October and with the recent typhoons there, could I have made it worse. I used Biaxin (anti-biotics), started with Symbicort (puffer), then on Alvesco and now I am on Nasacort, Advair and Aerius. Is this a post virus cough, asthma or something else...your thoughts?
Avatar m tn I went to my Pulmonary doctor yesterday and was given more prednisone and symbicort. I have chest pain when coughing, bending and last night I was awakened by chest pain (I was sleeping on my back). I have a Loop recorder in my chest so I sent communication through to my cardiologist thinking it could be heart related. I was just hospitalized for syncope & have been having problems with dizziness, fatigue and migraines since 6/26. Can you please shed some light on what could be going on.
Avatar f tn Again, I saw no results but my doctor insisted that I stayed with the treatment. After I year, I moved to Japan and was still using Symbicort and Singular with no affect on my cough. I started seeing a new doctor who told me that I had walking pneumonia. He prescribed a large round of anitboitics. Little has changed. I still have coughing attacks anytime I do anything physical (walking up stairs, riding a bike, waking up in the morning, etc.).

Avatar f tn I have the same problem, pain in the lower chest it seems. I take symbicort and singulair. Does anyone know if this Zithromycin treatment works?
Avatar n tn t quite sure myself about the Symbicort and blood sugar levels, so I did a little research and here is a link to what I found - it comes directly from the Symbicort website. http://www.mysymbicort.com/asthma/index.aspx?source=20048&WT.
757137 tn?1347196453 adrenal fatigue, panic attacks, excess mucus (difficulty in expelling because of dryness), sinus headaches, coughing and choking. If I had stayed on this poison I would not have mde it through the coming winter. I will look up Symbicort and Oxeze, neither of which I have ever taken. I tried Spiriva once for a few days, but found it drying. That may because I was also on Advair at the time,so may try again. Thank you for your suggestions.
Avatar f tn I was using Advair increasingly the past month till I experienced my first significant flare (had to do an internet search to actually find out what a flare meant) that drove me to see my doc.....she first put me on Symbicort and a decreasing prednisone RX. By the end of the week, the Symbicort did allow me to take the inhalation deeper but only seemed to help about 4-5 hours before the SOB returned, and the prednisone didn't seem to be making a difference.
Avatar f tn I am at work and started coughing, I realized that I started to taste blood, and when I spit what I could into a paper towel after coughing some more, I discovered that the phlegm or spit was actually pink. I blew my nose and it doesn't appear to be bleeding, and I wasn't able to cough up much more after this. But being asthmatic I am worried as to whether or not this is common or is something more serious going on?
Avatar m tn Hello, I've been having breathing problems since Feb 2016. My full body immune system crashed when my stress level spiked. I've developed a type of chronic cough which has lasted to this day. I have not had a family doctor due to bureaucratic issues in the past 5 years, and my last medical check up was during my military entrance examination in 2007.
Avatar f tn hi i have severe gerd and asthma getting worse today doctor put me onzantac prilosec ventalin and symbicort the divorcesymbicort felt like it froze my lungs when inhaled since then breathing got worse and middle of back hurts is this other normal
Avatar f tn Her doctor has been closely watching her and put her on symbicort and the proventil hfa, and singulair. thanks for the heating pad tip!
Avatar m tn Symbicort is a combination drug - it has an inhaled corticosteroid for the inflammation and a long acting bronchodilator for the spasms. You should stay away from oral steroids at all costs, unless you are extremely sick and can't breathe - peak flow 50% or lower of personal best.
Avatar f tn However, at the beginning you will seem worse because the inhaler opens up your airways and allows all the mucus to start to drain - causing lots of coughing and maybe shortness of breath. This can last up to a couple of weeks until the meds kick in and are able to control new inflammatory reactions and all the old mucus has been cleared out. Good luck and hope that helps.
Avatar m tn Some things you may want to try at that point are different medications specifically Dulera or Symbicort instead of the Advair and adding allergy medications and nasal sprays. Allergy testing and shots may be needed as well. Finding the cause of the cough is essential to bringing it under control. Please don't hesitate to ask additional questions. I am glad to help in anyway I can. I know it is a rough road. God bless.
Avatar m tn I'm just beginning to think my persistent cough is from Atenolol. My cough starts out to be very small---no more than a hick-up, but it progressively gets stronger and more frequent. Within a few weeks I'm coughing very frequently, and have to use my Albuterol inhaler several times a day, even tho I use Symbicort inhaler twice a day.
Avatar m tn This year, after spending the night at a room full of dust and -without my knowledge- cat hair, I went to the hospital because I found it hard to breathe for more than 16 hours (not dying for air but still very tormenting), Zyrtec not working and Symbicort hardly helping. They gave me oxygen and monitored me till the morning of the next day (I stayed the night).
Avatar n tn it means i cant do sports like i used to. ive told all this to docs and nurses, but i guess the fact that symbicort partly works, its most likely asthma. but even though my throat sensation has gotten worse, my lungs feel better than ever. even when my throat feels like **** and i wheez i can still sometimes hit above average numbers on the peak flow. even when wheezing and stuff i can hold my breath for a good 100 seconds. Things that set me off: exercize, cold weather, dust, chocolate.
Avatar m tn ve never had a reason to monitor my blood pressure, but I looked up the side-effects of Symbicort and it says changes in blood pressure can occur. There was also a warning to use caution in patients who have severe high blood pressure. As far as I can tell, there are no known interactions between Symbicort and blood pressure medicines. If you're concerned about how high your blood pressure gets after taking Symbicort, I'd talk to your doctor.
Avatar n tn I am currently on spireva, albuterol and symbicort. Symbicort can give you thrush so you have to rinse and spit after use. I quit smoking all together. It is hard because I really want one. I know if I do, It will probably kill me. I have seen suginficant improvement in my breathing. I now maintain a level of 91 and only need oxygen at night. If you have conjestion like I did and you are not coughing up blood, you can use mucinex. I had to take 2 600mg tabs twice a day.
Avatar n tn The cough cleared up for the most part, as did the wheeze, but the meds had serious side effects – I stopped the Levaquin after 8 doses, because it was making me depressed and exhausted, which I still am. I am also still coughing a bit (producing a little mucus), and feel short of breath, but my lung function is at 92% and I have optimal peak flow (475). I’ve cut back my meds to 220mg flovent twice a day, and albuterol when necessary. 1.
Avatar f tn will be starting on champix and will be done with ciggarretes in 2 weeks but i was told if i take ventalin and smoke pot it could kill me and i currently take symbicort and ventalin (salbutamal sulphate) but i asked a nurse about if i was to smoke sum pot one day if i didnt take the ventalin all day would i be ok and she said yes but i would like a professionals information so my question is it ok for me to take symbicort and smoke on occasion?
