Advair HFA and hives

I developed asthma this past winter following bad bronchitis. I initially broke out in awful hives. I quit for 2 wks restarted- no problems. Now I notice a tightness in my throat like I have a lump in there. my voice gets tight-hoarse especially after eating. I've had 2 episodes of what felt like chest pain all the way up into my jaw and teeth. I exercise regularly w/out symptoms. I've started weaning it to once a day. I will probably just go off of it. I take singulair also. no wheezing now. just occass tightness if I go off of the advair.

I am 25, white male, and have been on and off assvair for two years. At first it worked well and I thought God himself had touched me with that little purple circle. However, I have all of the following symptoms that have gotten worse in the last year, they include:blurry eyesight, tired all the time, gained 40lbs, always clearing my throat, sometimes hoarse, cough all the time, wheeze all the time, hives and skin irritation, asthama has gotten much worse especially since going from 100 dosage to 250/50. I feel horrible and of course my doctor, or previous doctor, said it had nothing to do with the advair, so apparently I just went from being reasonably healthy to a walking 25 yr old senior citizen ready to make the final cross over to the other side. I hate assvair because at first it gave me hope and now it sucks balls!

I have been taking Advain for 3 days. This morning I woke up COVERED in hives. The hives went away after my shower, but tonight they started to reappear around 4:30pm....it's awful and extremely itchy.

Needless to say I took my last puff this evening...

I have been on Advair 250/50 since it was allowed in the USA. I also take Spiriva. I told my pulmonary doctor last October that I would like a lower dosage. Now I am on 100/50. The side effects have not dimished and I am getting scared. My skin has aged and the forearms are like goosepumps. Just diagnosed with cataract in one eye and I was told I have severe osteoporosis. I have COPD, the reason for taking Advair. I now have HIVES. I do not suggest anyone try Advair. It is a killer. Tomorrow I have an appointment with my regular doctor for the hives and I am going to inquire about getting off Advair. I don't know if I need any other medication? I use oxygen at night when I go to bed (concentrator). When I was working I didn't need the oxygen during the day but I know I have a lot of anxiety which leads to depression. I have small canisters of oxygen in case I need it. When I get upset, I can use it but notice I recover on my own.

My Dr. provided me with Advair to help clear up my lungs before going for a breathing test. After the second day of using Advair I broke out in Hives. I discontinued using Advair 3 days ago and still have the discomfort of hives.

I HAVE COPD AND MILD ASTHMA AND HAVE BEEN ON ADVAIR 250/50 FOR ABOUT 4MONTHS I HAVE HAD THE ACNE, WEIGHT GAIN, HEADACHES, VOMITING, STOMACH CRAMPS, MOOD SWINGS, RESTLESSNESS, AND JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN BACK TO THE DR AND WILL BE GOING TODAY FOR ITCHING AND HIVES WHICH I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING DAILY. IF YOU DO EXPERIENCE HIVES YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY.

More common side effects may include:
Bronchitis, cough, diarrhea, difficulty speaking, fungal infection of the mouth, gastrointestinal discomfort and pain, headaches, hoarseness, muscle pain, nausea, sinus problems, sore throat, upper respiratory infection or inflammation, vomiting

I am suffering with sinus pressure everyday and it hurts.
I feel like my ears are going to pop because of the pressure in my head. Is anyone else suffer with this also. My email is darryljarod@yahoo.com. Please email me and let me know because I am tired and I just want pressure to stop.

Less common side effects may include:
Allergic reactions, appendicitis, blood in nasal mucus, bone problems, burns, constipation, dental discomfort and pain, dry and scaly skin, ear problems, eye infection, fractures, heart palpitations, hives, joint pain, lower respiratory infections, mouth ulcers or rash, mouth discomfort or pain, muscle injuries, muscle stiffness, nasal irritation, nerve problems, red eyes, runny nose, pneumonia, skin infections, sleep disorders, sleepiness, sneezing, sweating, tremors, wounds

I have a bad rash on my neck, back and arms. It has recently developed. I have been taking Advair for approx. 2 years. Is this normal for a side effect to take this long to show up? The rash is almost like hives. My doctor has given me something called Elidel to help with the rash. It does work but not completely. The doctor did not even mention Advair as a possible reason for the rash because I have been taking it for 2 years.

I appear to be getting hives since taking it
