Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 I had the exact same problems with Advair. Go see your doctor and ask to be switched to something else. I literally lost my voice,could only whisper. I now use Foradil and Spiriva and I LOVE them. No side effects, no voice loss. And my asthma is under better control than with the Advair. DON'T STOP TAKING THE ADVAIR UNTIL THE DOCTOR GIVESYOU SOMETHING ELSE TO TAKE!

I did not have the flu shot so naturally, having asthma, my symptoms were worse. I had about 6 asthma attacks before taking Advair 250/50. I sent to an asthma doctor nhe recommended this to me. Yes it helped. I still had about 3 asthma attacks while i was sick.What i noticed was voice loss: squeaky voice, straining. I just thought it was me being sick. when i got better i noticed my breathing more. It takes me so long to eat or drink everything! It feels like there is pressure on my chest or the need to burp in order for me to feel better. I continue eating and it starts again. I didnt understand it at first but now i do. It has to be advair becuase i never elt like i had to burp so bad and stop doing my normal tasks.I try to take Advair 1 everyday instead of twice a day. Today my sibling seen on the news that Advair is causing more deaths then helping asthmatics.SO SHOULD I STOP TAKING IT ALTOGETHER? OR SWITCH TO SOMETHING ELSE? IF SO WHAT?
