UTI or urinary retention and inhalers

I hate it when a med or treatment for one thing leads to side effects or problems in another area! Have you reported this to your provider? Perhaps there is an alternate med or dose that will alleviate the problem? I wouldn’t just stop the med on my own without seeking advice from the prescribing provider.

Thank you. I will report to my Pulmonologist next visit but in the meantime, I do have other things that I use for mild asthma wheezing/shortness of breath that do not have side effects. I was really experimenting with the Spiriva for something that would help with nighttime asthma so I would not wake up and need to use a rescue inhaler, Xopenex. That is only periodically and usually when I have eaten a food that I do not tolerate.
