A member asked:

Cortisone shot for albuterol allergy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Marx answered

Specializes in Pain Management

Symptoms?: What you may be experiencing may be merely side effects of the albuterol like heart racing and pounding which is not an allergy but an effect upon the heart. I suspect that's what you are having. Other drugs of this type for bronchospasm may be less of a problem for you or you may just be overusing your medication.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
