For Asthma, Maintenance "I was prescribed this medication for asthma and sinus conditions where all my airways were inflamed, and I had sinus pressure and severe shortness of breath. I was given the inhaler with the nasal adapter to spray into my nostrils. After only a few days, my shortness of breath worsened, and my sinus pressure is unbearable, along with extreme dizziness. I wish I had never taken this medication and hope I can improve after it wears off. Think twice before using it."

For Asthma, Maintenance "I have been using Flovent for about 4 months, ran out of it and didn't bother to refill it till my asthma started flaring up again. On the first day of use, I started feeling a whole lot better! I usually wake up with wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and some phlegm, but since I've been reusing this medicine, it has helped with all those awful symptoms. No side effects for me except very slight dizziness, but all the worth of not feeling like complete crap!"

For Asthma, Maintenance "Flovent helped me with my symptoms for the first two weeks. After continuing use for a period of a month, I started having a weird burning sensation in my chest, a sore throat all the time followed by dizziness and inflammation of the throat. I have stopped using on my own for three days now, and my symptoms are not back, but I no longer get dizzy or have a sore throat."

For Asthma, Maintenance "This medication, Arnuity Ellipta, helped with my chest tightness and breathing, but the side effects are too much. I have had headaches, severe dry mouth, dizziness, and muscle aches."
