Advised Advair Twice Daily. Have Upper Back Pain. What Are The Side Affects Of Advair, The Dosage Recommended?

I am suppose to take my advair twice day-no where can I find out how much time should be between the first and second dose. Or if I take the second dose at night will it affect my sleep. Also I have upper back pain but no problem breathing-soreness in the morning when I get up-could this pain can from the advair? Thanks my name is Willie.
