asthma meds and weight retention

so i had to take a couple puffs of my asthma medication last night -- advair. was so upset i had to use it, as i hadn't had to since surgery.

anyway, i woke up this morning and ... low and behold ... my ring was tight on my finger again.  i weighed in and was up 1.5 lbs from the day before.  my eyes were slightly baggy (typical sign of water retention for me).  i was totally pissed off.  i am suggesting that there is a relationship b/w the advair and water retention.

i guess i can call my pharmacist and ask, but i will toss the question out to you fine folks:  any of you notice weigh****er retention b/c of asthma meds?

I think there's something to it - I had to use my steroid inhaler the last few days, and today I feel bloated and my rings are tight too.

Bleh. Allergies and asthma didn't bug me for an entire month after surgery. Guess it was too good to be true!

You too?  Perhaps this is something seasonal then?  I will see how this goes ....

I have been taking my Advair for the past 6 weeks and haven't noticed water retention, I just get headaches from it.  Water retention is listed as a rare side effect so it may be what caused yours.  Hope you feel better.

thanks, woman!  my diet wasn't any different than it normally was -- i don't think i will need to take it tonight ... so let's see how i feel tomorrow morning.  :)  i hope the scale goes back down to where it was before.

I am on a variety of asthma meds (advair being one of them) and have never noticed any water retention. 

luck you.
