Can Intake Of Symbicort Cause Symptoms Like Racing Heart And A Shaky Feeling?
Yesterday my GP prescribed Symbicort 2 x 2 puffs morning and evening and up to 8 single puffs during the day. I was on Pulmacort and was OK. Ventolin was not making much of a difference prior to that. Now, I am feeling quite unwell generally and it feels as though my heart is racing and I am quite shaky. I am 77 years old. MY GP is not at the surgery today or tomorrow. Should continue taking the Symbicort?
