Only you and your doctor can decide if SYMBICORT is right for you. If you are prescribed SYMBICORT, use it as your doctor instructed. Keep track of your symptoms and how you’re feeling.

I do not believe the steroid from the Symbicort will transmit to you through the exchange of "bodily fluids". If it is true then it would be very very minimal and would not interact with your blood pressure medications. I appreciate this is well out of date but i have noticed the exact same issue with symbicort.

So I stopped it after reading the leaflet provided for side effects. I have caught common colds that cleared up and went away . I have viral asthma, so I would normally end up with breathing difficulties (because of fluid, etc. in my lungs). I think that if you are someone who suffers from breathing and/or sinus difficulties, that the common cold strikes harder and longer. Are there any somewhat effective asthma medications that do not have increased heart rate as one of the side effects? I would really like to know, because I hate taking that symbicort.
