I was given Advair by the doctor's office they started it there at about 1:00 PM in the afternoon and I started have chest pain, coughing, wheezing etc. by 6:00 PM at night. I was not even given a rescue inhaler. They "think" I may have asthma again but I have not been on an inhaler for years. I am not getting enough oxygen in my blood, especially during the night. Needless to say, I quit taking it and called the doctor's office the next morning. It has taken 12 days for the nurse to get back to me. She said the doctor recommended that I start taking it again but did not offer any rescue inhaler. I told her that I live in a remote location, no street signs even and that my nearest neighbor is on vacation. We all have 20+ acres each so no one is close and I am alone. She brushed aside my comments and said of course, it was up to me if I wanted to continue it. After reading many of these comments, I am not sure I want to even try it again.
