A member asked:

Can the medicine proair cause sleeping difficulties?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Latonya Brown-Puryear answered

ProAir: This is albuterol and yes it can make it difficult to sleep because it causes increased heart rate and tremulousness. These are a few of the more common side effects.

Dr Pappas agreed
