Expected: heart rate of 125 for a 5 yrs old is bit off range, but expected for a child who just received albuterol, bronchospasm (airway spasm) itself can lead to rapid heart rate, that effect of albuterol is temporary with the inhaled form more prolonged if administered orally, if your child develops higher and persistent heart rate get him checked please, good luck

Well tolerated: The range of normal heart rate at that age runs 60's to 180. A kid can tolerate the stimulant effect of exercise and or drugs like the albuterol well.There is no significant risk of it hurting his heart at such a level.
