Suggest Treatment For Dry Cough And Anxiety

Tuesday my doctor put me on ANORO Ellipta. Took one dose in his ofice to show me how to use it, fell fine the rest of the day. Fell right to sleep, but started coughing differently (from a dry cough to a more flem cough). Finally had to get up and took some cough medicine, cough stopped and able to sleep. Wednesday AM took a dose of ANORO and within 2 hours had the worst headache, vision problems, loss of concentration and couldn t stay wake. Went in and laid down and slept the whole afternoon. Woke up feeling fine. Today didn t take it and the same thing happened and slept all afternoon. Scared to take this new RX. I take BP medication, Xanax and occasionally Valium (not everyday). This is the only change in medication that has ben perscribe. As I am a widow, 72 yr. old female it scares me to feel this way. Already under enough stress and anxiety. Don t need anything else piled on top. Plus I am in paid 24hours a day with no pain meds. Over the counter meds do nothing.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

As per my clinical experience, the issue of cough, headache and visual disturbances is secondary to the side effect of drug content Umeclinidium and Vilanterol. Immediately consult office of your doctor, maintain hydration with plenty of liquids and stop further doses of the Anoro ellipta.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel,
General Surgeon
