I've been taking Advair for about 14months months, first 100/50 and then 250/50 to control my asthma and chronic bronchitis. During the past year I have actually lost 10lbs but over the past six months have experienced increasing symptoms/possible side effects from Advair: chest pains, leg pains/cramps, neasua, dizziness, acid reflux, trouble sleeping, memory issues and extreme muscle weakness. The leg cramps I've been able to control by taking vitamins and enzymes but the chest pains is worrying me. I was searching for possible answers to the mysterious chest pains and thought that Advair may be the culprit. Hence my entering this site. I'm going to chuck mine in the trashcan and go cold turkey Hopefully my symptoms will subside overtime and nothing damaged permanently.

I just wanted to post an update that I had my annual physical in March 2009 and my doctor noted an abnormal EKG with inverted T Waves, which I was told, is indicative of a mitro valve prolapse. I was referred to a Cardiologist and underwent a ECHo cardiogram and stress testing with contrast. The ECHO showed that my I had a mild mitrovalve regurgitation. This is the first time in my health history that I ever had an abnormal EKG and trust me! I'm very dilligent about my health and have normal EKG's all from the past 10years of having annual physicals.

There is a silver lining to this rainbow....After 3months of quitting Advair all of my symptons slowly susbsided and faded away. I'm using Bromelain 3 times a day to control my Asthma and allergies and I'm very happy to say my Asthma and allergies is now very well under control without all the ghastly side effects.
