thank ya so much you dont know how much better i feel, i have had asthma that came from a cold in oct i still have it because am so scared to use a inhaler, i have pac and papations ,racing heart so i would not do it i felt last night like i was ubder water but it got better am wheezing only at night when laying down, dr says this will go away and that i dont have asthma that i will need a inhaler everyday, but that i need to use to get over this i was hoping it go away on its on but after last night i see its still with me this is going on 3 months. i have the xopenex hfa 45mcg one and she just gave me the flovent 110 i have not got filled so looks like i can use either right. tanks again you dont know how releif i feel.
I use advair twice a day and Xoponex when needed for asthma attacks.
Neither one makes my heart race.
I used to take albuterol for fast acting inhaler, but my cardiologist changed me to the xoponex because it is easier on heart patients.
The inhaled steroids won't cause the heart to race. I have QVAR (beclomethasone) that is a steroid. The quick relief inhalers like albuterol will have an adrenergic effect and cause the heart rate to increase temporarily. My HR increase usually lasts about 15 minutes.
I see that Flovent and Advair are both steroidal inhalers.
I use advair twice a day and combivent when my asthma kicks in and i don't notice much racing when i use em
Hello...
I have asthma and take Flovent 2xday and used to take Combivent as needed. My Dr switched me from Combivent to Atrovent. With Atrovent, I find that it doesn't cause my heart to race as much as it did when using the Combivent.
