Thank goodness for this site ! I am a 36 male living in Australia and was prescribed Advair(Seretide) 4 weeks ago to treat a asthma induced cough. About a year ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and have scheduled visits to a cardiologist, the next one in a few weeks for an echocardiogram and follow up. About 2 weeks after starting Advair I started having the following side effects: Racing heart beart, dizziness & feeling faint,waking up with tingling in my hands at night, inability to sleep at night, anxiety/ nervousness. Further side effects developed over the last few weeks: hoarse, need to swallow, extreme anxiety and feelimg panicky. Initially I put the symptoms down to stress and concern over the impending cardiologist visits. But the situation worsened to the extent that last week I felt extreme distress at going to work. I went to my GP who put it down to stress and referred to a pyschologist. This site has been such a relief - thanks
