Hi i have asthma and have been on Advair for years about a month ago I ran out and instead of refilling it I thought I would try to deal with out it! On Friday I could not take it anymore and had to get it filled began taking it right away. now I have this heavy filling in my lungs and it still is a little tough to breathe, why and what could be causing this because the whole time I have been on advair I havent felt like this at all???
The steroid and bronchodilator combo in Advair has made you dependent on it and you could not afford to live without it for a day even.
To my own patients I would suggest to take steam inhalation by putting Euclyptus leaves in water when boiling. If leaves are not available, Euclyptus oil or Vicks vaporub (also contains Euclyptus oil) may be added.
Tulsi (Holy basil) leaves, ginger pieces may be boiled in a glass, allow to become lukewarm, add little honey and little turmeric powder to it. Sip it daily once at least - empty stomach. Make it a habit. May continue long. If any irritation occurs, ginger may be discontinued intermittently.
After about four weeks you will find if you miss Advair, you will have enough immunity not to feel discomfort. Further, slowly you will not feel frequent need of Advair in future.
Hope it helps.
