Hello everyone I just came form the doctor, I asked him about some choking sensations i am having while on inhalers, i mean i feel like my throat is closed up havent been able to eat for 2 days and feel horrible, the other day as i was eating i almost choked, it was very scary, now all I have is that fullness in my throat, what can i do i am on advair,albuterol and also I use the albuterol in my nebulizer, I think this started after using advair, since I have been on it for a short time i will look up the side effects of each but something is causing this.

how long does it take to get the advair out of my system

I am so upset my throat is so closed up , I dont know what to take for this i guess i am allergic to advair, since my throat feels horrible I am getting so anxious about this sicne it feels horribly swollen, can I take anything to get the swelling down? would

called pharmacist he recommends benadry he says advair can cause that reaction in some people, I just hope i am ablke to eat soon.

I had the same reaction to Advair. Problem is that the ingredient in Advair is also in Flovent, Flonase and others. So if you need asthma medication make sure it doesn't contain Fluticasone. I am on Pulmicort and have not had that reaction.

Advair is a dual inhailer which contains Flovent & Serevent. Do you know if this ingredient is also in Serevent? Is it possible to take something like singulair or Accolate along with Serevent to get similar benifits such as from Advair? Do you rinse your mouth & throat out after using the Advair as recommended? Just wondering if this helps at all.

Hope you find something that works and doesn't cause this for you soon.

Advair contains Fluticasone/Flixotide and Serevent. It could be either that are causing the problem - not necessarily the fluticasone. I would guess that the serevent is the one thats causing you problems, well thats what was causing me problems in the past. Fluticasone is quite gentle. Serevent opens the aireways - its like a long acting ventolin, fluticasone is a steroid that dampens down the reaction. You can mix fluticasone with singulair but you need to use a steroid so they won't put you on serevent and singulair because they do similar thing. Or you could use pulmicort in place of the fluticasone with serevent or singulair. Your dr will be best placed to advise. Hope that helps clarify things.
