For COPD, Maintenance "I have asthma or COPD after COVID pneumonia. I am getting a feeling of inflamed lungs, and my throat is burning. Also, I feel like I can't clear my throat. And I get shortness of breath randomly. Anyone else have this? Please help."

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."

For COPD, Maintenance "I have a lot of the symptoms with regard to this inhaler. Exhaustion, shortness of breath, general fatigue, and discomfort in back between shoulder blades - more coughing and some sputum. I feel I need to be more active - just feeling unmotivated."

For COPD, Maintenance "Seen I have been on it. About 4 months now. I have experienced more shortness of breath. More than I was before. And lots of mucus. I have talked to my doctor about changing. This is not for me."
