At one point, in desperation my primary reached out to the clinical pharmacist for help trying to control my asthma. He immediately had 2 suggestions. First, I was on a very low dose beta blocker to control my rapid heartbeat- it shouldn't have been high enough to mess with the beta-agonist used for asthma (Levalbuteroland formoterol are BAs) but in my case it did, that helped but not enough, and he suggested eliminating aspirin and all NSAIDs - that finally made the difference. I'm not sure I understand the connection between anti-inflammatory meds and asthma, but since then my daughter has had the same experience. For me, it means I live with arthritis pain, helped a tiny bit by Tylenol, and some by duloxetine. But I can breathe.
