Advair HFA and hard time

I have been on Advair 250/50 for 5 years for asthma. I'm a 48 year old female. I have experienced severe hoarsness and my voice is rough sounding. Some days I am so hoarse that others have a hard time understanding me. I have had 5 kidney stones in the last 5 years, never had one before taking Advair. I had the last one a month ago and it was so large I had to have surgery. I experience nausea about once a day. I seem to always have a headache. I feel tired all of the time. Over the last year I have developed high blood pressure. I have gained 20 pounds. I have rashes on my upper arms that comes and goes. I experience mood swings. The Advair does control my asthma, but these side effects are too much anymore, especially the hoarseness. I am going to ask my doctor for other solutions.

I am currently taking advair and I feel horrible pain in my chest. I am having a hard time breathing and feel as though I am not gettin g enough oxygen to my brain. This is only my third or forth dose of advair. The really bad chest pain is when I cough. But I still feel the achiness without the cough. My muscles in my back hurt as though I have been lifting a ton of weights although I have done NO strenous activity. How long will this take to wear off?

ive taken advair for 3 years,ive had a few side effects including: weight gain, pains in my leg, and tiredness. i dont know if these are from the advair or not. i never had these issues before taking it. i really dont know what to do. if im not on advair i have a hard time breathing and have chest pains. Does breathing better out weigh the side effects that it causes??? i have problems with inflamation and advair seems to work well with that aspect. Is there natural alternatives? HELP!!!

My eyesight has not changed in the last 2 years. I just had an eye exam 3 months ago. However, I suddenly found myself with my eyesight so bad I now have to wear different glasses for different things. I have been on Advair for about a year. I heard a blurb on TV that Advair can affect your eyesight. It certainly has mine. I have a very hard time now with my sight. I am thinking of going to an Attorney as I have documented proof that my eyesight has become worse almost suddenly. Another eye exam confirmed this and I have to get much stronger glasses. I stopped the Advair a month ago hoping my sight would improve but it didn't happen.

I have been using Advair recently for coughing from sinus drainage. I only have a very mild case of asthma. Two sinus surgeries have helped. Yesterday after using it in the AM my lips and mouth area tingled. I became very warm and then cold to the point where it was dripping off my forehead. I had a hard time breathing and had a panic feeling. Then my feet and legs began to ITCH. It moved to my arms, back and down the body. Later my whole body ached which lasted 24 hours. I immediately called the doctor and went on Benedryl. He also phoned in medication for the itch. After reading some of the posts, I now know where my weight gain is coming from. Never will use it again.

I have been on Advair for 3 years. I was have a real hard time breathing, more than normal, thought it was the asthma. Then I started choking on my saliva, my food, couldn't swallow my pills. The choking would trigger an asthma attack so I would have to use the albuterol. Since I took myself off the advair 2 weeks ago, all symptoms have disappeared. I have not had to use the albuterol yet. I have also experienced raspy voice and weight gain of 30 lbs. I think the advair was directly contributing to my choking.
