I only use Albuterol spray when I am wheezing which is not often and usually before the saline neb if I remember. Albuterol does briefly raise heart rate and blood pressure. I don't use Albuterol in the neb. The saline works so well for me that if I forget the Albuterol it really makes no difference.
