I am an asthmatic. i recently switched to a daily maintenance inhaler, relvar ellipta 184/22ug from symbicord320. athough it does seem to have improved my general condition i become very breathless as soon as i exert myself. should i revert to symbic?

Can see doctor again: A senior adult, such as aged 60 or older, especially if quite a few years older than that, should see his doctor again if he has been getting short of breath during exertion. That means not simply blaming his lung disease or changes in his asthma medication, but going to get his heart checked to make sure his heart is not getting weaker and causing his shortness of breath on exertion.
