Persistent daily asthma and inhaled steroid problem Posted: 11-28-07 19:14pm
I have developed persistent daily asthma
and I have tried almost all the inhaled
steroids. When I take these, even in low
doses, I get very very tense and
lightheaded. To the point I can't
function. Even flovent 44mcg at one puff a
day. It obviously dosent help at that low
a dose. It feels like I haven't eaten in a
couple days. I don't feel hungry and am
eating normally. It is hard to describe.
But, it makes me feel horrible. Anyone
else have these problems. I am currently
stuck using as little albuterol or maxair
as possible due to the extreme jitteriness
it causes. I am at my witts end.

Do you find inhaled steroids in higher
doses helpful for your asthma symptoms?
Have you informed your doctor about your
side effects?

Have you seen and asthma specialist? Have
you heard of VCD Vocal Cord Dysfunction, u
should google it. Do you keep peak flow
readings at least 2 times a day am/pm.
when ever i have felt light headed, due to
too much ventolin and it was making my
heart race.. Are you on some Advair?.these
drugs are power ful and you should be
reassessed with a doctor, prefrebly a
asthma doctor, so important.. good luck
