Inhaler side effects

Hi all,

I was diagnosed with asthma at around 12 and with the flu jab it has been controlled. I had the flu jab last September but recently had to take my inhaler more often. I used to be on a light brown one (unsure of the correct name) but stopped taking it 2/3 years back and just use the Ventolin when I need to. Since using the Ventolin in the last few weeks I have had more chest pains and the whole of the left side of my body feels numb and heavy to move around as well as dizziness. All of this is after I take it. Can anyone advise on what I could do or is this normal side effects.? I've never suffered this before.

This is what this site says for Ventolin (Albuterol Sulfate).

Tell your doctor if you experience serious side effects of albuterol sulfate including bronchospasm (wheezing, chest tightness, trouble breathing), especially after starting a new canister of this medicine; nervousness; shaking (tremor); headache; chest pain and fast, pounding, or irregular/uneven heartbeats
