Ventolin

When I get breathless and use my inhaler a couple of times it seems to make me feel worse, a bit space out and heart racing. Or is that the asthma . Settles after a while . Feel rough for the rest of the day . As we all know asthma attacks are frightening.

I feel similar after using a lot of salbutamol too. I find that those side effects tend to feel worse for me if I’m suffering a bad flare. For example, last night, by the 8th puff, I felt absolutely rotten- my heart was pounding and I felt quite dazed but by then I had been breathless for hours and my chest was pretty tight anyway
