Side effect of med: Albuterol can cause a high heart rate and a shaky feeling. It sounds like you might have had a double dose since this med is in both your nebulized treatment and the medicine you drank. Make sure you read the labels of the meds. Typically albuterol should not be taken closer together than 6 hours. the side effects should subside over 2-3 hours.
