I'd think there are many things that can trigger asthma....just depends on YOU.

Hey Janster,

Thank you so much for the info. You are right. Stress may be a contributing factor. I started taking advair a little over a week ago and I didn't like it at all. It made me feel dizzy and I have anxiety disorder with panic attacks so when I heard about advair causing sudden death in some asthmatics it made me very nervous. My doctor gave me singular and I don't start it until tonight. Is anyone else taking singular? Just wanting to know if others have taken advair or singular and what side effects it gave them. "

Hey Janster,

Any reply for my query about the side effects of Advair and singular? Awaiting to hear from you.
