Has anyone else experienced severe side effects from Budesonide/Formoterol 160/4.5mcg (120 Inh)?
I've been using this inhaler for about a month now for my COPD, and while it has helped with my breathing, I've also experienced some concerning side effects. I've had bouts of dizziness and sometimes my heart feels like it's racing. I'm not sure if these are side effects of the medication or something else. Has anyone else had similar experiences, or am I worrying too much? And if it is related to the inhaler, are these side effects normal?
My doctor also warned me about the possibility of severe and potentially life-threatening side effects. It's scary but good to be aware. Always keep an eye on any unusual symptoms.
I'm having the same issue. I'm going to bring this up at my next doc appointment. I thought I was the only one!
I had similar issues at first. My doctor adjusted the dosage, and it helped a lot. Also, make sure you're using the inhaler correctly—squeezing the canister while you're inhaling deeply. You could also ask your doctor about spacer devices to ensure you're getting the full dose. Also, keep an eye out for changes in your potassium levels; low potassium can cause heart palpitations.
I've been on this inhaler for a while and haven't had any issues. But it's always good to keep an eye out for any changes. Maybe talk to your doctor about it?
