COPD, Maintenance
"I was diagnosed with asthma and COPD and was given symbicort. First I lost my voice , then I would get constant leg cramps at night, then I started to lose weight. I went to see my new doctor, by the way my previous doctor sent me to have my throat examined for any problems and all came out ok. My new doctor asked me &quot;who told you you got COPD&quot;?  my previous doctor. She asked did I have a lung test and I said no. Then  told me to quit symbicort get a chest x-ray  a full lung test and a complete blood scan which came back Normal. Now it&#039;s been over a week since I stopped symbicort and am breathing normal don&#039;t cough got my appetite back and don&#039;t use my rescue inhaler which I seldom used . Get a complete lung test before taking symbicort."
