Relvar

Hi. And welcome to our community. I see that you just joined up a few hours ago. Thank you for sharing with us about your experience with the Revlar inhaler. Palpitations is a potential side effect to one of the medicines that is in this inhaler (vilanterol). While most people are able to take this inhaler with good results, some do experience side effects such as palpitations. Glad to hear that you were able to spot this with your Apple Watch. The first step when you think you are experiencing a side effect to a medicine is to stop taking it. So good job. Did you also call your doctor? This is another step that is important when you stop an inhaler for further guidance. What do you think? John. asthma.net community moderator.

Yes I told A&E and they said no it can not be the inhaler it is most likely my nervous system. When I booked a go appointment they dismissed my concern about the inhaler and assumed anxiety. I really feel I have to mention this inhaler as the outcome of left to long is heart damage. I used to use serretide and Clenil without issues like this, I only stated using steroid inhaler again because the asthma nurse convinced me to. I stopped originally because of bloating I believe was caused by steroid leaking into my abdomen. An X-ray while I was in A&E also revealed a raised left diaphragm. I hope the inhaler steroids did not cause this?
