For COPD, Maintenance "I have COPD (emphysema and asthma). Ever since I started Breztri (April 2022), I have had sudden breathlessness. It just hits me for no reason. For the longest time, I thought maybe I was having anxiety, or this is what having COPD is like. I had told my doctor multiple times, but he didn't mention any changes I should do other than using my nebulizer more. UGH! I thought it was what everyone was calling a flare-up, so I would get antibiotics and prednisone to treat it. Finally, I convinced my doctor that it could very well be Breztri that was causing my breathlessness. He put me back on what I came there a year ago on (Symbicort and Spiriva), and although it's only been a couple of days, I have not had any episodes of breathlessness. Yes, I get out of breath, but that's much different than feeling like your heart is racing and you can't catch your breath. I guess something in Breztri does not agree with me."
