I read that if you take spireava and have gerd you can get night sweats, any way i take the spireava right before bed now and don't sweat now

@A MyCOPDTeam Member hmmmm I don't have GERD but I do take spiriva every morning,that is something
I might bring up to my primary Monday when I go to see her.
Have her look over all my meds and see which ones are clashing.

I take Advair too 500, I take so many meds and quite a few of them cause night and day sweats so not sure which drug is really doing it.
