Asthma, Maintenance
"A reasonably good drug at controlling my moderate, seasonal asthma (I was diagnosed with asthma in my early 40s, during allergy season I have moderate asthma symptoms -really crummy lungs with wheezing - though I&#039;ve never had an actual asthma attack. During non-allergy season I don&#039;t need any maintenance, most years).  However, I had to stop taking the medication for two reasons: first, the drug made my heart race which was a huge problem at night- I couldn&#039;t sleep. It also made me somewhat anxious and short tempered.  I thought I had generalized anxiety.  Instead, it was the medication giving me the symptoms (now that I&#039;m off the drug my heart rate is fine, and the jumpiness has disappeared).  The other drawback was severe hoarseness."
