I'm afraid to try using the Advair

My pulmonary specialist just gave me an Advair Diskus and increased my Albuterol breathing treatments to 4-6 daily and my Combivent Inhaler every 4 hours.  I almost died from an asthma attack last weekend.  I had emergency heart surgery in June and have been having arrhythmias so I'm on a heart monitor for this month.  I understand that Advair causes heart palpitations.  Since I'm already having trouble with my heartbeat, I'm afraid to try the Advair.  I'm afraid NOT to try it because my asthma has become so severe just since the surgery.  I don't know what to do.  Does anyone else have these problems?  Please help.

I get more reaction from my albuterol then when I was on advair.  I wouldn't worry too much, try half of a dose and see how it feels.
