What Causes Heart Palpitations And Dizziness While Using Advair?

I went to Dr Ugwoke at Gander hospital--He prescribed an inhaler for me named Advare---He wasn;t very nice to me when I asked him how this would be in my case-He did not follow up--After taking it for about two weeks I started to get heart palpitations really bad and would feel dizzy and fall--It happened several times--Why would he not want to keep in touch with me?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Of course, not very frequent, but still some of the side effects may be seen due to salmeterol salt, which is a beta 2 adrenergic agent and due to this action, patient may sometimes get palpitations, irregular heart beats, fainting and dizziness. It may also raise your BP some times. Hence, I will advise you to see your doctor or have second opinion in this regards for further management and change in your treatment profile, if needed.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Satnarain Bansal, General & Family Physician
