33, Female - Been on Advair a while now, last disk is this month. I have had chest congestion similar to an upper respiratory infection every time I have had to take Advair. I made sure to follow the pharmacist's instructions and gargle with water after taking it to insure I don't get a yeast infection in my mouth, but the congestion really bugs me.

I have been on advair since 1999, I have gained over 50lbs since I started taking it. It wasn't until earlier this year did I say enough is enough, I can't do this anymore. I will have new insurance on 10/1 and will go to the doc then. I pray there is something else out there other than these inhailed steroids. Now I don't want to be without any meds because this has worked the best so far. I have been on azmacort, servent, q-var, flovent, predinisone, other steriod shots, singular and of course albuterol, slo-bid, proventil. My side effects have been yeast infection (mouth), migraines, rapid heart rate, bad dreams, dizziness and confusion, emotional spells, nausea and of course weight gain. I am glad I found this site. Thanks
