Your inhaler is likely a bronchodilator with a side effect of increased heart rate. Your heart rate will also increase if you are having breathing difficulties. You should see a pulmonologist to review your inhalers and prescribe the best regimen with the least side effects. If your shortness of breath is worsening, go to the nearest emergency room. Good luck!
