Title: Elleste Duet and Asthma
Post by: karenja on July 05, 2014, 04:10:07 PM

Hi Im on my first pack of elleste duet and on day two of the green tablets, I have a tight feeling in my chest and not sure whether this is because it has made my asthma worst or a combination of anxiety which is the main reason im taking it and asthma, anybody else experienced this?

Apparently there is an increased risk when on HRT, but think it's mainly those on oestrogen only. I'm asthmatic. Asthma came around the same time as starting Oestrogen only, but there was no mention of a possible connection. Could of course be pure coincidence in my case.  Worth keeping an eye on though karenja.

I've had asthma since a few months old, at times acute, but have not noticed any problems with HRT.
