A member asked:

Alburerol overdose, doctors said. he has no asthma and did take two puffs. he developed high bp and arrhythmias, almost immediately,it was that truth?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: The albuterol is a cousin of adrenalin, the stress hormone. Although its major use is to relax lungs in asthma, its primary side effects include increasing heart rate and blood pressure. Its effect in a puffer happens within minutes and is usually gone within 4 hours.
