What’s causing my Asthma to get worse

2018-07-28 08:55:19
Hi there, I’ve recently (2 weeks ago) started taking Lansoprazole for very bad indigestion. I’ve noticed over the past week my asthma has been getting worse (normally only affects me when I’m running) - I’ve been taking my sabutomol inhaler 2-3 times a day when normally i wouldn’t be affected at all. Could the Lansoprazole be causing this or is it just one of those weird occurrences?

Hi. I understand your concern s. Lanzoprazole does not worsen asthma. But uncontrolled acidity can worsen asthma. If you are using so much asthalin then your asthma is uncontrolled. Consult a pulmonologist for the same at the earliest
