Albuterol and nebulizer

2/20/2009
Took the prescribed Albuterol with a nebulizer and had shakes. I have pneumonia now and feel very weak and tired. the treatment made me feel worse and caused my nose to bleed. My heart was racing a bit while inhaling it and I was lightheaded and dizzy. It is helping me with breathing afterwards.

I been taking ALBUTEROL in a nebulizer for Wheezing an for Asthma that got worse from a Upper Respiratory infection,I never have gotten any bad side effects from being on this medication,I have used it a lot threw the years,times a box a week,2-3viles a day,this medicine does work and stops wheezing,and opens up the air passages! You could get shaky from using it but only if you use too much at a time,go by what dr. tells you how much to use.

My 22 month old daughter has been diagnosed with asthma. She was prescribed albuterol to inhale with a machine and mask every 4 hrs as needed beginning on Monday. This medicine is dangerous as she has been more than hyper. She has been falling and injuring herself. She fell last night and gashed her forehead on the radiator. We were in the E.R. until midnight. Thank God she's better, now. I gave her one treatment this morning at 7am and have refused to give her any more. It is too dangerous for her. I've rubbed eucalyptus cream on her chest and she seems to be wheezing less. Any other moms go through this? Any homeopathic suggestions for asthma? Do you find that all doctors diagnose children for asthma if they are coughing and wheezing a little?

After reading this accumulated several years of reporting below:
Yes to higher heart rate and BP for sure - after several days using albuterol in the home nebulizer I have had - it is for emergencies and every severe asthma attack but one (Oct 06) it kept me out of the hospital. I also tho have a GERD ulcer in my throat that causes caughing - Nexxium is THE ONLY med proven to heal those btw - and they do still come back! But anyways, this latest irritated throat followed by uncoltrollable coughinghas been on the "other" side of my throat for 6 days -
(this is all separate from my bronchial and lung coughing from asthma and the lung infections that come with it).

So anyways - ta daa - I came here suspecting the new spot in my throat that is super-sensitive is due to the nebulizer and after reading the other comments- maybe this really is it! The forced air in particular - because I just don't get coughs like this when I stick to my little purse canister.

I have COPD and use an Albuterol nebulizer 4x a day. I have a very hoarse voice. Could the nebulizer be the cause?
Also using Advair Discus and my glacoma readings have gone up 4 points. Now using two eye drops: Xalatan 2.5ml once a day and 10m; of Alphagan twice a day. What else can I do to lower my glacome readings?
