I've been on the pulmicort turbuhaler for 9 days and my b/p is now very high. I'm taking it for asthma, but don't know if I should stop taking it? ## Budesonide is a steroid class medication, which has been known to cause elevated blood pressure as a side effect. However, you should speak to your doctor, rather than just stopping it, as you may need to try a different medication, and they may also need to prescribe something to help lower your blood pressure. How high has it been?

I have been on Azmacort for 17 years along with Serevent disc. I have breathed free for this whole time minus when I had a cold. I have not used my rescue inhaler in years. Since I have been off the Azmacort and trying other meds I have been miserable. I use ny rescue inhaler 6-8 times a day. Asmanex gave me headaches, Pulmicort was terrible and Advair didn't work either. We have a huge deductable so everytime I try another inhaler, it comes out of pocket. I have also tried Singulair and Zyrtec, but I was so tired I couldn't function. I want Azmacort back. My Asthma was under control for all these years and now I am struggling daily. I wil definitely call the company.

Flixotide was prescribed for me and by the 3rd day I was experiencing stomach pain, weight gain, and nausea. Anybody else experience this? ## Fluticasone is a steroid class medication, so those can be normal side effects, you may also experience headache, acne, nervousness, and insomnia. How long will you be taking it? How are you doing, now? ## I was on pulmicort turbohaler for 2 mths didn't agree with me bloated stomach nausea ,told my dr he didn't think it would cause weight gain I did,!!he changed me to flixotide has anybody experienced weight gain or problems with this med?? ## I feel same effects from flixotide also pulmicort turbohaler the bloating has me really worried seems to have made my symptoms worse feel like bloated stomach pressing on lungs ,all dr says is give i...

For the past 4yrs I am taking this medications with other medications tell me the side effects. If cold or allergy affects I am taking allegra 180mg. At present I have stopped monteleucast sodium 10 mg. Advice for better management of asthma with less side effects. ## Been taking pulmicort nearly 2weeks with my ultibro plus ventolin when needed,can't really say IV noticed much difference with the pulmicort,maybe it takes few weeks to kick in I hope as I don't want to take a steroid inhalor if it isn't doing anything,any info appreciated.thanks.

I take a lot of meds for chronic pain and inhalers for shorness of breath (copd). Something causes leg weakness and hip fatigue. Any guesses? ## Without knowing the specific medications, it is going to be difficult for anyone to help you. These symptoms could be caused by many different medications. Can you please post back with more information? ## Sure: meds include; hyrocodone, morphine, nuerontin, for pain. albuterol, spiriva and pulmicort inhalers for SOBreath. Also; flomax and omeprazole (prilosec). Hard to sort out what might be causing the leg weakness, hip fatigue. ## Thanks for posting back! You should probably discuss it with your doctor to get to the root of the problem, as they would best be able to help you. But I can tell you that it could actually be the Morphine. It'...

I am a 71 year old male who has been diagnosed as having COPD...The Pulmanologist say my lungs sound pretty clear..I recently had to go the the emergency room because I could not breathe..What was discovered that my blood pressure pills were raised in dosage from 50 MG to 75MG and then to 100MG..My lungs felt like boards and could not breathe...Should I continue to use my albuterol inhaler when needed even though I use a nebulizer for Performomist 2x daily along with Pulmicort Respules 2x daily? When I use all these along with my albuterol, I get headaches, shortness of breath, the shakes and cold sweats along with periodic coughing! ## It is recommended that you consult with your doctor for such a medical matter. ## If you are suffering from illnesses, it's because your body has to...
