Can't breathe

[chickwhorips]

i was never told about the gargling so i don't know. seemed to work fine without that.

When I was given one of the inhalers like Advair I was advised to gargle after using it to clear it out of my mouth and throat. In some people it causes them to have thrush (overgrowth of yeast) in their mouth.

Ditto on that. I was talking to someone recently that did get a yeast infection in their mouth from it.

Rinsing - a small price to pay for breathing

most of your inhalers have those warnings now. I know that I was told to rinse after using my Qvar as well. Believe me mouth sores from inhalers is NO fun. I don't always pay for forgetting to rinse, but there are times I do.

The instructions just say to rinse your mouth out after use, not gargle, but maybe I should do that. I do not want a yeast infection in my mouth or anywhere else!!!

Some great news: About 30 mins. after my dose of Advair this morning, I tried my peak flow meter. I blew a 390, my highest ever!!!! I blew 320 this weekend, and my norm is around 350. Wow wow wow! My doctor was right, and I am loving this already!

I can hardly wait to go mountain biking tomorrow night!!!

I find it makes me feel a tiny bit jittery, though. Anyone else?

Hooray - it feels great to breath doesn't it ? ? ?

I don't notice anything w/ my advair and he jumped my dose to 500/50 but I do notice it quite often on Albuterol.

Also I just rinse I don't gargle and haven't had any problems but again each mouth is different and sensitive to different things

Yes, whenever I've needed an inhaler, it does make me a bit jittery and sends my heart racing shortly after. As I recall, though, the jitters pass after a few more minutes.
