Does anyone else on here have asthma? Ive had asthma since i was about 2/3 years old.. got diagnosed with epilepsy in my teenage years.. but since being diagnosed with epilepsy my asthma has been on and off so my gp has been on and off prescribing me the preventer inhaler. Heat usually triggers epilepsy/asthma

I have asthma too my neuro said use Proventil in emergency case only. I use Arnuity regularly and I love it! Proventil makes me have seizures almost right away, i have PVCs ( extra heart beats) the unnatural increase of heart rate sends me into one right away.

I know arnuity is a steriod inhaler but it does not bother me. I take 100mcg
