My first pulmonologist prescribed albuterol and 7% saline from the first but the albuterol made me very jittery and raised my heart rate. She switched me to levalbuteral and it was a little better but I still didn’t like using it and wouldn’t use either in the evening. When I went to NJH, their comprehensive lung functioning test included testing how effective albuterol was. The results showed it wasn’t significant in increasing my flow in my airways (12%) and my NJH doctor left it to me to decide whether I wanted to continue or not. His suggestion was to maybe use it before I went to exercise.
