Follow up question. not sure if albuterol is the cause of palps and breathlessness, only feel this on doing a lot of walking, or physical activity!

Yes: Albuterol definitely can cause palpitations and shortness of breath. The reason is that albuterol causes tachycardia. Some people are more sensitive to it that others.
