Guest guest Posted March 6, 2006 Report Posted March 6, 2006 I have had chronic bronchitis at least twice a year since I was a child. I am now 51 years old and have shortness of breath, tightness in my chest, coughing up sputum in the morning, wheezing. Since last summer the doctors I have seen have given me Advair, Singulair, Spiriva, Flovent, Foradil, Zyrtec, Albuterol, and a nebulizer to use sometimes. Last week I went to the pulmonologist again and he put me on Flovent twice a day, Foradil twice a day and singulair once a day. I feel worse if anything. Also, my reaction to any of these inhalers is 15-30 minutes of coughing and strangling. Is this normal? What is the difference between COPD and asthma? Any thoughts? Quote
