I have been taking the advair diskus 100/50 for two years, and I also thought it was my miracle drug. I can breath great , and only take my inhaler a lot less. I also have hoarseness, due to the advair, but recently was told by my doctor I have a mild heart murmur. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do, maybe talk with them on what else I could take instead of Advair. It's hard only because my breathing has been so good, but my heart is also very important. I have not had any leg problems, I have had some problems sleeping, not to bad.

I take the Advair 100/50 Diskus as well. I used to take it every day twice, but I felt like my heart was beating a bit funny and I had consistent chest pain so I called my Doctor and they told me that it would go away. I continued to use it regularly and I had severe panic attacks; once I was driving alone to a class and I had to pull off the road because I just about fainted behind the wheel. I kept experiencing the same thing over and over again even in the Doctors office! I decided to stop using my Diskus because I figured the symptoms were tied to the medication and sure enough I haven't been experiencing any problems. I just stick to my inhaler whenever I feel I need it because I really don't like taking medications that give me that kind of reaction.
