Why long acting asthma medication (servent and flovent..) make my asthma worse add bad side effects like fast heart r..is that normal ?

Expected: LABAs (Long Acting Beta Agonists) can produce those side effects in some patients, if making your asthma symptoms worse, please stop taking them and talk to your doctor, at times they lead to paradoxical bronchospasm rather than dilatation, and should not to be used during an asthma attack, take care

Several answers: First, your problem may not be asthma at all especially if your problem is with breathing in and not out. Some people's asthma are irritated by the powder form of this type of inhalers. If so , a HFA preparation may work better. I hope you are under the care of a b/c allergist who can guide you to the right path.
