spiriva gas pains

None of the existed before Spiriva!!!! I found out that if you are on Spiriva 2 years - 5 years your chances of getting prostate cancer is 50%. If you are over 60 (I am 62) the chances are 90%.

my husband has copd he uses adviar spiriva and combivent and it doesnt work what can it be thak you

My questions are, How serious is this side effect, Should I continue using the Spiriva, Continue the Spiriva but stop the Symbicort, or Drop both and just take Combivent which I currently use as my emergency inhaler? Are there other alternative that I and my doc should consider.

If you are taking Duoneb there is no point in taking Spiriva because Spiriva is related to the ipratropium that is a consitituant of Duoneb. Also Spiriva is extremely drying which may be why you are feeling so uncomfortable. To be using Duoneb five or six times a day you would have to be close to death. Obviously you aren't, so you can cut back without any problem. I have serious COPD and my use of Duoneb averages 3.5 vials daily. The big question is - how bad is your COPD?

My tongue has a coating of white on it, not sure what it is. Your mouth is dry and sticky probably from dehydration. I have also gotten white crystals around my mouth from too much salt in diet and dehydration.

I have wet macular degeneration as well as COPD and my ophthamalogist theorizes that the weird "blisters" that are appearing at the site of the oozing veins may be caused by the steroid content of my asthma medication ( namely Spiriva). So he has asked me to change to something that doesn't contain any steroids. My pulmonologist has suggested I add floridil to my albuterol nebulizer.

Yes! Spiriva is a long acting 24 hour broncho-dialator. So this means it will dialate your airway, make it bigger so air can pass thru it easier. Adviar: is a cortico-steriod. This means it is a anti-inflammatory type med that will take the inflammed part and calm it down. These are two very different medications. one holds it open and the other calms down the inflammed parts.

If it gets unbearable I would call the hospital and just ask a nurse if you should be checked out. I know gas pains are the worst and when I got them I felt like I was dying.

The last 2 nights I'm having horrible gas pains and can't sleep...feels like my whole uterus is contracting. Not sure what to do...I'm only 13w 1d. Tips hints ppl that have experienced this?

I'm having horrible gas pains at night the last two days..I can't even sleep. I feel like my uterus is contracting. I'm 13w 1d. Anyone else go through this. Tips hints help??

Im having super bad gas pains, I know gas is normal but should it hurt this bad? I just wanna lay in bed and die... well not die but you get the point. It *****!

So I feel like I have gas pains like if I had to fart or poop but I try and I cant. Sometimes its real intense that I cant walk or bend over. Is it just gas or what else couldnit be?? Lots of pressure in pelvic area ah its horrible. Im 38w4d.

I know this sounds funny but are you able to fart. Normally I guess really bad gas pains due to excess gas and also having to use the bathroom. #2. So I eat something that I know will give me the poops sorry tmi. but it helps me. I never thought at the time i had it to try some sort of gas relief. But i would look into that.

I had horrible gas and gas pains before I knew I was pregnant and it was not common for me at all lol...

I have been taking Nexium 40 mg one time a day for the past two months and the past week I have been having gas pains in my chest. I can feel the gas bubbles moving after I eat and stays around for a long period of time which is very uncomfortable. Is it ok for me to take Gas X along with the Nexium?

I have really horrible gas pains, nausea, and bloating. I was wondering if anyone has found anything that helps them with these issues besides antacids. I like herbal meds too if anyone has any suggestions that would be wonderful!

does anybody else have gas pains? I'm 5 1/2 weeks along and this is the 2nd time in the past week I have had horrible gas pains. They aren't like cramps the are higher like under my ribs. I never experienced thus with my first pregnancy.

Hi I'm six weeks and whenever I lay down to sleep I get these really bad gas pains I've tried sleeping propped up on pillows and trying to use the bathroom before bed but nothing is working I'm exhausted from Lack of sleep what can I do ?????

m in my second trimester and I have these painful gas pains. Has anyone ever experienced them and what can I do to relieve the pain? Your help is appreciated greatly, thanks.

after checking, this bladder problem is a side effect of Spiriva...I had used Spiriva for over a year and the infections/non-infections got more frequent until I had to go to the urologist...I was on Azo Standard most of the time. I alerted my pulmonologist as to my problem and he took me off the Spiriva. Since being off the Spiriva, my breathing has gotten worse....my Dr said there was no replacement for Spiriva...I'm writing to find out what others might know.

I'll try to be brief. My dr. ordered a pft last week (following three ct scans over 16 months). I had been using Spiriva for three years. My question is how long should I have been off the Spiriva for the test to show accurate results? Shouldn't I have had the test before being given Spiriva? Thanks in advance.

COPD Fev 45-50% , have been on Flovent,/Spiriva/ Proair 10 years and am sensitive to medications. I dont smoke. Have had increasingly reactive airways for 3 years, had first Dxed exacerbation last fall triggered by woodsmoke. No congestion and did not take antibiotics. Pulmo said airways 'sounded just like asthma' but do not have that Dx. Airways felt raspy, swollen, inflamed. Have slowly recovered on a higher dose of Flovent.

Is ut normal to have pretty severe gas pains? This is the first time.

m on Advair or oral steroids. So I try to avoid them if at all possible. I am currently using Spiriva HandiHaler which I believe is not suppose to have any steroids but I keep getting Thrush in my mouth ! It is a constant problem even just using the Duoneb, and especially if I have to take any antibiotics. I'm, constantly having to take Fluconazole tablets after a round of antibiotics for candidiasis under my breasts and in my mouth.

I'm probably 98% sure the pains I have every once in a while are gas pains, but how can I get it out?

Yes often when I have gas I know it because my little man flips and turns and I get cramps and sharp pains until it comes, perfectly normal.

I read mild cramps are common, cause its just your uterus getting ready for the baby. Also, gas pains sometimes feel like cramps. I'm 5 weeks 2 days and the gas pains and constipation are driving me crazy. At least one apple a day and some yogurt raisins help me. Maybe the cramps you're feeling are gas? Do you have a doctor appointment soon?
