I am hoping it is just Advair but I have a gyno appointment tomorrow. I have severe bloating in my adomen without any significant pain. It started a month after starting this Advair and never goes away. It is wrose after eating and I noticed belching which I never had a problem with before unless I have soda. I have dark circles under my eyes which even my husband noticed and a lot of swelling in many areas of my body.
I feel more anxious and have sore throats every morning.
I am going to seek an alternative. Pulmicort gave me a horrible rash on my legs and puffiness so hopefully there is something else I can try. If anyone has any suggestions please help. I used to have a very flat stomach.

I'm only 19 and have terrible asthma. The doctor first put me on prednazone, then that didn't work, so he tried 50/250 advair. I've been on it for almost a year. I've had 20 lb weight gain along with terrible bloating and bowel problems, which the doc claims is "irritable bowel syndrome" but I really do think it is caused from advair after reading this! I've been trying to ween myself off it and notice that I can breathe better on my own than with it. I have a gyno appointment soon about my bloating but I do think it is from advair.
