Hi all,

My pulmonologist wanted me to try to switch from Symbicort to Pulmicort. I just started the Pulmicort this morning. If you don’t know inhalers, Symbicort has two medicines combined. One reduces inflammation and the other relaxes the smooth muscles of the airway. Pulmicort only has the medicine to reduce inflammation. Doctors typically want you to get off of Symbicort as soon as your asthma is under control because it can make the situation worse if you have an asthma attack.

Anyway, I get nervous when switching inhalers. I worry that I’ll havr an attack. All day, I’ve felt a cold feeling in my throat. I seem to be breathing fine, but I still get scared.
Many advice?
