COPD, Maintenance
"I&#039;ve recently stopped using Spiriva because I was worried about the side effects.  The final deciding factor was my optometrist telling me that I had high eye pressure (possibly a precursor to glaucoma).  I have also had red eyes ever since being on it.

Other symptoms since being on it are trouble urinating with force (not able to pee fast when in a hurry),  chest pains daily, muscle pains in front lower legs, constipation and losing my voice or hoarseness. 

I value my sight above all else so I will make do with salbutamol instead.

Since quitting it two weeks ago my eye pressure is now normal again, my eyes are not red, the chest pains are gone, the hoarseness gone, and am gradually getting my bladder muscle control back."
