Experiencing chest pain and nervousness with Albuterol inhaler

Has anyone that’s taken Albuterol inhaler experienced chest pain/nervousness? It’s very uncomfortable and I was wondering if it was a common side effect.

Yes it is a common side effect but you can reduce it by simply sitting in a steamy room and inhaling the steam for about 10 minutes after a shower

I get it every time. Told it's normal because of the sudden rush of breathing easier and adrenaline.

Yes, all the time. The reason is albuterol inhalers actually have epinephrine a chemical form of adrenaline in it.

I also always get shaky/anxious when I use it. Try taking as few puffs as possible. I always wait a bit to see if I can get by on just one before I do any more.

I get the shaky feeling every time I use it. There's a version valled Levalbuterol and it decreased the shaky feeling a ton. My insurance stopped paying for it, but it was great. Might be something to ask your doctor about trying.

It's not common, but it's not rare. Talk to your doctor that prescribed it ASAP.
