How normal is it for asthma inhalers to make you tired?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This should not be a side effect of normal astha inhaled medications.If you think this is happening, you need to discuss it with your doctor.

On the contrary: Not normal. Just the opposite: most asthma "reliever" inhalers have derivatives of adrenaline ("adrenergic"), make you hyper. But...tho adrenergic inhalers stimulate most muscles (tremor, shaking), they also relax cramped smooth bronchial tube muscles that are choking off the flow of air to the alveoli, and suddenly you can breathe. This may finally let you cough out mucus, and get some sleep.
