I was put on Advair 100/50 about 5 years ago and took it faithfully twice a day. I started having hoarseness and several times felt like I was having a heart attack.
I also noticed a trembling in my right hand which I did not know what to attribute it to. I could not hold anything in my hand before gradually dropping it.
I also started having leg pain which would grow worse at night and I couldn't sleep through the night. I had to get up a nd take some ibuprofen to get some sleep. I blamed it on my spinal stenosis.
For the past two years I have had an eye problem. I am losing sight in my left eye. The doctor sent me to a retinal doctor last year and I went thru all kinds of tests. He thought it was a wrinkle in my retina. I was examined again this year and it is the same.
This year my doctor couldn't figure out what was causing this and had a brain MRI done. This showed nothing.
I have slowly stopped taking the Advair and my leg pain has gone away and I am getting some well needed rest at night. As to my eye problem, there still is a Question. I will not go back on Advair again.

After I was on Advair for about 3 months, I noticed that my blood pressure was starting to rise and my eyes hurt and felt like there was a lot of pressure inside them. After my rx ran out, I decided not to refill it. 1 1/2 weeks later, I experienced a vitreous detachment in my left eye. 2 weeks after that, I experienced another detachment in my right eye. It's now about a month since I stopped taking Advair and the pain in my eyes has stoppped but I have experienced significant visual problems due to the vitreous detachments, for which there is no treatment. Blood pressure has returned to normal. By the way, my doctor said he couldn't find any side effects listed for eyes or blood pressure. Maybe I should find a new doctor.
