Brief Answer:
Dont stop, consult your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. Advair is an inhaler and works in pulmonary disease like COPD and asthma etc where dyspnea / air hunger is a problem. I suggest continue its use for a while as stopping at just two dosages will bring back the dyspnea. If you don't feel any more dyspneic i would suggest to consult your doctor for alternative methods for management of any air hunger if left.

Stopping advair without doctors consult who prescribed it all of a sudden out of a blue is not wise and will bounce back with reperussion of severe dyspnea.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

air hunger .

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

Dyspnea is air hunger. Advair is used in air hunger secondary to asthma or copd etc. Dyspnea is treated with Advair not caused by it. You should consult your doctor and let them decide what is best for you.

Advair is an inhaler of corticosteroids and should be used and discontinued both at the discretion of your doctor.

I hope it helps.
