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

I've had Fibromyalgia for a long time. The #1 thing, is to have a positive attitude. Get info. about this disease. Get moving. Start out slowly. Do what you are able to do, nothing more and nothing less. I know its hard to keep moving. But if u dont, ur stuck with no life. I've been down this road too. Get some physical therapy.

Have been to 4 neurologists and they all confirm that there is nothing seriously wrong with me neurologically and they put it down to stress. I have tried herbal remedies, acupuncture, body stress release, dietician, exercise, pain killers, massage, physio, posture modifying appliance, bean bags and oils, ice pack, pilates, chiropractor, daily meds like inderal and trepiline and still, nothing has been able to give me long te...

I don't know when it had a falling out, but all I can say is the course of action to remedy this disease is CRAZY. Taking meds that have more side effects and the restrictions on my daily life, because of the meds, no driving, no salt, no sugar, and little fat in my diet, very little sun. Bathing in skin moisturizer, moodiness, mental confusion, can't work, but expected to continue cooking for family, and cleaning. Which I guess ...

I too used to feel the imaginary impending doom and dread towards the future. I believe this was due to my extreme anxiety that was caused by Serevent in Advair.
-- By ncchinagirl | Reply | Send Private MailEvery little thing in my life became a production. Not only was I tired all the time but the muscle tension caused by the Serevent made things even more difficult.
I am in my late 30's but I began to feel old and run down.
ASMANEX has given me my life back. I feel young again and have so much more energy and the muscle tension is gone and the anxiety is gone.
When I was on ADVAIR I couldn't even have a Latte w/o feeling like I was going to take off like a rocket!
It is such a relief to be calm again---to be ME AGAIN!
