I, too was on Advair for a number of years. Not only did it cause hoarseness but also heart palpitations (due to the Serevent component). The corticosteroids all affect me in one way or another. I feel they make the asthma symptoms worse. I've taken myself off everything except Albuterol as needed. I feel so much better in many ways but the symptoms do persist and I pray that I can get by on the Albuterol alone. I will give it a couple of weeks and then try the QVAR inhaler again if I can't manage. Sometimes I feel all of these meds bring on asthmna symptoms -- they're all horrible.
Please tell me what other inhaled meds you've tried and to what degree of success?
