I am sooooooooo glad I found this site. I have been on Advair 100/50 for about 5 days now. I did not have asthma but for years I had shortness of breath on my left side. After seeing a pulmonologist she told me to try the Advair and it worked great! I could breathe again!!! Then came the side effects. The first couple days I felt fine. Then, all of a sudden, my left shoulder was sore, and the pain went all the way down to my left index finger. After eating a lot one afternoon my heart rate started to increase and I thought I was having a heart attack or something. Anyway, I'm off this stuff as of tomorrow. I'm going to look for a homeopathic healer!

I am a 36 year old guy, i went to the doctor six weeks ago and had pretty high blood pressure, 200/100. She suggested I get on Lisonpril - 10 and Lipitor 20, metformin 1000. At the same time I started doing some research on the side effects of these drugs and they were pretty bad. I felt some of them mildly. But I did find a book, The Dash Diet for Hypertension Lower your Blood Pressure in 14 Days - without drugs by Thomas Moore, M.D. . I fallowed the suggestion and drastically changed the way I ate overnight. Cut out all bad food. I also cycle stationary bike for about 30 to 45 minutes. I added a lot one serving of oatmeal a day and cheerios every morning. It seemed to have done the trick for me. My blood pressure has come down as well as cholesterol to normal levels. The doc also agreed to lower my meds by half. So now 5 lisinopril and 10 lipitor. I am shooting for no meds in six months. I do still go out but go to places that serve a more natural selection. I hope this helps some of you out there.
