I was prescribed albuterol for mild moderate copd. i stopped using it, feel so much better, but have pressure in middle of chest. could this be from quitting albuterol. have anxiety flare ups more so than not, taking rx for that?

To address your question we need to know why you felt bad when taking albuterol inhaler and why this inhaler was prescribed in the first place, for shortness of breath or chest tightness or ? If you are not shortness of breath on exertion without this inhaler, the chest tightness is likely not due to stopping albuterol. Take care.
