Just got diagnosed with exercise induced asthma and got jittery when i took my inhaler?


Today before track i took 2 puffs(just got diagnosed a week ago and this was my first time back at practice) and when i got back to the room, I got really shaky and jittery. I couldnt even text right because my fingers would miss the keys. Why is this? Should I be concerned? Thanks.

Also, about a half mile into my 3 mile run, my chest began to hurt.

I have asthma too and that's perfectly fine. It happens to me, it's just a side effect of the inhaler. As you take it more you should stop shaking less and less. You might always be a little bit shaky, sometimes (with exercise induced) if you are working really hard you might become more shaky than if you weren't. Everyone reacts differently but there is really nothing to be to concerned about. If you start having severe body seizures, the shakiness last for an extended amount of time (everyone is different), or the shaking starts to become pain full I'd call your doctor.

Chest pain is probably your asthma, I suggest taking your inhaler a little sooner to give it time to kick in before you start running

I had to take an inhaler a couple years ago, and that is perfectly normal. Its the Albuterol. It made me really jittery too, and also made my heart race. I had to take a nebulizer which is a machine that gives constant albuterol for about 5-10 minutes, and trust me, thats even worse! It made my heart beat go up to about 130. I called the doctors office and they said that was normal. So its normal no need to worry! Just take it a little while before a meet so you wont be all nervous and jittery when your about to run.

You get jittery due to the epinephrine that helps you to breath better. Should subside some or your doctor may have to change what kind of inhaler you use.
