Has Anyone Had Bronchospasms While Using A Bronchodilator?

Yes, when I was on Breo Ellipta, the spasms were brutal !

I felt like I could leap buildings in a single bound, until my lungs would spasm and I’d have incredible pain between my shoulder blades and reflecting down my spine. Taking my YMCA swim class, I almost drowned, leaping for the ball in water polo when a spasm hit. Very scary stuff, @A MyCOPDTeam Member.

Only you can decide if the spasms are worth continuing to use any inhalers. Hugs, as we each do what we think works best for our quality of life, and no two folks make the same decision. Please tell your pulmonologist or respiratory therapist about what’s happening, and see if they have any alternative medication(s) for you to consider.
