Hi there I been on symbicort for almost 5 months. It has helped quite a bit. I'm 30 6'0 260. Currently working out and biking just about everyday for last week and someway to get my weight down since I been gaining. I've been seeing doctors for other reasons but my weight has been going up. Gained about 20 pounds since starting symbicort, blood pressure has been high at times. 150/90ish. Other times it's back down. Mostly higher side. Just wondering if these are side effects from the puffer and If anyone else has them or other negativeside effects from this inhaler. Thanks

    I’m on symbicort and haven’t had any of these issues. Are you taking any other med that could be causing interaction to happen? Some meds don’t work will with others and can have a lot of effects. It could just be that this inhaler doesn’t work for you and you need a new brand. Good Luck.
