A member asked:
Whenever i do my symbicort inhaler (have to breathe in deep and hold for 10 seconds) my left chest hurts. is this normal? i'm anxious about it

Only on left side?: Suggests perhaps you have air trapping there or a lung rupture or pneumothorax. If the pain persists, or there is any more shortness of breath than normal, you should have an xray. Good luck!
