I have been taking advair for just under two years. I have heard of severe cramping in feet. I hadn't had any problems with that until I had taken Advair for about 1 year. I was swimming and my feet started to cramp...I was in shallow water but couldn't even stand up. I looked into it a bit and found that this is a common side effect. I now have cramping that feels that same way in my legs, hands....anytime I tense the muscles. It Does anyone have similar problems...if so what helps...what to do?

Wow I didn't realize that was a side effect from Advair. I get cramping in my feet and legs sometimes. Not a whole lot, but when I flex my foot muscles especially, I get that. I just grab my foot and try to relax the muscle. Also, taking calcium supplements is supposed to help with leg cramping.
