    PS:  I just noticed you write "inhalers" plural - my gp said to not use spiriva and symbicort (cortisone) inhalers within an hour of each other.

    If you're using ventolin, are you using a spacer because you're losing most the beneift if not, or so I've been told.

    Maybe you're swallowing too much air with the inhalers

      My inhalers are accuhalers as I find them easier to use as I have arthritis in my fingers ,so can't use a spacer, my inhalers are ,venolin ,seratide and Spireva , and yes I used to take them one after the other,,,,I'll try leaving time between each one ,thanks again ,

      Sorry, but I don't understand, if you can hold an inhaler why can't you hold a spacer for the ventolin?   Spacers aren't relevant for the other two, which are what I use.

      I reckon you're just doing too much breathing in with 3 inhalers close on top of each other, didn't they tell you to leave time between?   And my recollection from advice given to other people when I did a rehab group, if you're using spiriva and symbicort the ventolin is only for symptomatic relief at other times, not as a preventative, which is what the other two are.

      Personally ventolin doesn't make any difference for me because my bronchial tubes are apparently ok.

      As it sounds as if yr doctor or doctors haven't given  you full instructions on your medication, can you get yourself to a rehab group?  I highly recommend it, of course it won't cure anything but it could prolong your life and make your condition easier to deal with

      All the best & stay in touch with this forum

      It's the pressing down on inhaler ventalin inhaler ,and you can't use a spacer with accuhalers,and no I was never told to leave time between them, until I was rehab Tuesday ,I know that venom in is a reliever and the Otheres are preventers, I have also been attending pulmary rehab on and off since 2008 ,the team that take care of me are brilliant ,and on Tuesday at rehab ,, they told me about leaving time between inhalers ,,,and it was in my notes ,,,I just hadn't read them properly, like you I highly recommend pulmary rehab ,

    Hi everyone,it seems I've started a discussion that's caused bad feelings to some ,,,for this I apologise,,,,I was asking about the problem BURPING . And as this page is for copd etc , I can see why some thought I should have mentioned it ,BUT in my defence ,,,,I was wondering if anyone else with breathing problems had found the same problem and possibly connected it to some medication, 

    someone on here ( can't remember who ) reminded me that we should not take all inhalers at the same time ,,,,and to have a time interval between them ,,,,I thank the person who suggested this ,,,,,as it seems to have solved the problem BURPING ,,as I have started to leave a half hour gap between taking each inhaler ,

    once again thankyou for everyone's advise and comments ,

    and I hope I haven't caused offence to anyone,

    as a fellow asthma Bronchietis sufferer I thought this would be ok to ask the question about burping and any connection with medication ,

    I thought it might be one of my many new medications causing it ,,,,but it appears not ,,,,and the problem is resolved, thanks again ,

      Nanny you don't need to apologise:  I did comment that burping isn't very serious compared to other issues but it's other peop[le, not you, who've overreacted to that.  I don't see how you've caused offence to anyone, so don't worry about it.

      I'm really glad if my suggestion about not using the inhalers together has helped already - all the best

      Well that's a bit of a lesson, eh?  I've done the same thing, if I don't write stuff down while I'm with medical people or immediately after I forget stuff too

      All the best

      Well your post gave me a good feeling too ladyjack:  I think I'm being "flamed", is that the right term?   I've just come home from a great night out with friends at a gig of a local band full of other friends of mine, to find yet more nasty repetitive posts on here, which I've deleted without reading anything except the first line or so.

      You'd reckon these people would have better things to do:  I apologised and that should've been the end of it.  I did notice one poster wants me "banned" from here ...... talk about extreme over-reaction!

      Thanks and all the best
