See a doctor: Albuterol should not be used for chest pain. If you are having chest pain now, go to the hospital emergency department for evaluation. Causes of chest pain can range from muscle strain to heart attack to clots in the lung, so prompt medical attention is essential.

Chest pain: That depends on what's causing your chest pain. If it is due to cardiac conditions, I would be very careful. Albuterol can raise your blood pressure and pulse rate. It is highly advised that you consult with your primary care physician on this matter. A safer alternative for nebulizer treatment may be Xopenex, (levalbuterol) which has less affects on the heart. Again, this should be discussed with your PCP.

Brochospasm: Albuterol by it's function has been used for bronchospastic disases. So SOB because of asthma, copd will be helped by Albuterol. Sometimes you can also have chest tightness which is respiratory related, but not frank pain . If you are concerned about your chest pain, please contact your doctors office

This sounds serious: to me. I am concerned that your chest pain may not be related to asthma, but rather cardiac in origin. If you are feeling short of breath, having chest pressure and tightness, nausea, feeling sweaty or if this is in any way different from your asthma symptoms in the past, i advise you to dial 911. Heart disease affects women of all ages and is more often missed. Please call 911!
