How to ease the breathing problems?
Patient: I've taken advair since it was available.  I'm a lawyer, there are no jobs for lawyers, so I started my own firm, but I still can't make enough to afford my old health insurance (which went up to 800 a month)  I'm now on the subsidized plan, which will only cover 200 of the 479 that advair is. What can I do?  I can't breathe, they also won't cover flovent, that's 270-something out of pocket.   I've already been lectured by my doctor that I'm overusing my  rescue (xopenex) inhaler,  and as a result my heart rate is 115 resting. Doctor: hi, you can try oral drugs like salbutamol or deriphylline or terbutaline (tablets) with along monteleukast which are very cheap compared to inhalers. they reduce the frequency of episodes and also the requirement of inhalers. next time you visit your GP, tell your problem and ask for them. hope this helped.
