Wheezing: In patients who have significant wheezing, it is not uncommon for the wheezing to get LOUDER after their albuterol- (before the inhaler, air movement was less...not enough to create much of a wheeze). Now with that improved air movement, cough increases for a period as the lungs are trying to expel mucus. IF your chest feels tighter after albuterol -that's a problem that needs evaluation ASAP
