Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I m having stomach problems and wonder if Spiriva could be the culprit. I have an enlarged, not unlike a beer belly and it is tight and distended I guess you could say. It makes it difficult for me to breathe more than just the COPD. I m 70 y o and on 2 L O2 except walking , then 3L. Irregular B M and bladder hard to empty completely.
Hello, Thanks for the query. Spiriva does not cause breathing problems. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required including a chest X-ray. Wishing all the best. Thanks
