I had a reaction to it I

never had. I coughed when Iinhaled the first time and kept coughing for a few more breaths...I had to take 25 breaths of it and I did, my heart rate got around125 and I couldn't feel it real hard in my chest. I told them I neverhad this reaction and they said it's "undiluted" albuterol...Anyoneknow about this? Very weird...Anyways...test didn't show much improvement...in fact I felt worse...At least now they've ruled out asthma...

means they didn't mix it with saline solution

we can get just brown bottles of just albuteral

the RT's carry them sometimes and have to mix that with something like

pulmicort or something

straight albuteral will do that but even if it was dilutated if they would do the whole amount, you would still get the same reactions, i think.

the shaking is your nerves being raw.

i get that just being wired on 60mg of prednisone and don't sleep for 40+ hours. add albuteral nebs to it, i am a nervous wreck. i have to take ativan to calm down.

i never did understand why they check your vitals after a neb treatment,??

maybe someone else can answer that one.

I was taking it regularly (~2 months) when the idiots "misdiagnosed" me with asthma. i didn't have the reactions then that i had now...they said it was bc today they gave me "undiluted" albuterol...i guess it's stronger? it didn't do crap then and it didn't go crap now.

hour treatment center and they took her vitals once and BP twice...
