Does anyone else get a headache from their inhaler?

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been on the brio inhaler for just a little over a month now and I've noticed that I seem to have a daily headache. Not bad it's just always there. I'm going to try an aleave and see if I can get rid of it. But may end up calling to the doctor to see if there's something else she can do

It's definitely worth contacting your doctor about this. They may be able to:

* Adjust your dosage
* Switch you to a different inhaler

While trying Aleve might provide temporary relief, it's important to address the root cause with your healthcare provider. They can determine if the inhaler is responsible and what alternatives might work better for you.

Don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor sooner rather than later—managing side effects is an important part of finding the right COPD treatment plan that works for your body.
