Advair HFA and urination

I am a 71 year old man with COPD (emphysema) My pulmonologist has prescribed Spiriva and Advair. I have taken Advair for over three years and Spiriva for about 18 months. Lately, I have experience a rapid heart beat (sometimes 138 bpm), problems with hoarseness, thick mucus in the throat, weight gain including an unpleasant, distended belly after eating, leg cramps at night, heartburn, dizziness and slow stream urination. I've been checked for prostate problems, the results of which were normal. My heart has always been healthy but lately with the rapid heartbeat, I've become very concerned. I am going to stop taking the Advair and see what the results are. The Spiriva seems to be doing a good job for me and I will continue with it since it is not a steroid.

I have been on Advair since nov02. The advair was a great benefit to me and improved my breathing ability alot. Shortly after nov02, I developed urinary problems: slow urination, dribbles, constantly getting up at night to urinate,etc. I went to a urologist who checked me for an enlarged prostate but mine was normal, PSA was normal and DRE exam showed that prostate size was normal. I was also given antibiotis for 10 days as treatment in case it was an infection but that didn't help. Since that time, I've been taking Hytrin to control the urinary problems and it seems to work except at night when I must get up 3-5 times each night to urinate. As an experiment, I did not take the evening dose of Advair on three separate occassions and I was able to sleep 6-7 hours straight (without having to urinate)! Now I'm wondering if all my urinary problems are related to Advair???? I have asked my doctor about this and did not really get any response other than "I never heard of Advair causing urinary problems".
I also have most other symptoms others have described here like sore throat, horseness, fast heart rate,etc.

I would like to know if others have also experienced urinary problems since they started using Advair and what they are doing about it.

My 4 year old daughter was put on Advair about 3 months ago and within the last 3 weeks has been experiencing an unbelievable increase in her need to urinate. We have had her to the pediatrician 4 times in that window as well as urgent care and to a pediatric urologist. She underwent a renal ultrasound and was put on Ditropan. There is no underlying infection, the Ditropan hasn't helped her urge to go potty at all - in fact she had some severe reactions to it - and no one can give me any answers. In the meantime, this she is feeling the need to pee every five minutes AROUND THE CLOCK and simply can't go. No one in our house is sleeping because of it, her head hurts and she has this general feeling of being sick. In fact, her overall behavior and attitude has changed markedly in the last few months - tantrums, easily frustrated, moody. None of the Docs we've seen has linked these symptoms to Advair. We didn't give her the evening dose tonight, so we'll see if it makes a difference in her sleep. Anyone else with kiddos experiencing similar effects?
