What Causes Anxiety After Taking Ventolin Puffs?
Question: I am terrified I have been affected by two puffs of ventolin inhaler taken two days ago.
Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Why did you take ventolin puffs? Are you an asthmatic?
Whatever may be the reason, you needn't worry as there won`t be many side effects.
It`s an inhaler medicine and only a small portion is deposited directly into the lungs and even smaller portion is absorbed in the blood.
In any case it`s been 2 days since you took the puffs and the effects may have already worn off.
So just relax and do not worry unnecessarily.

Brief Answer:
It may be a co incidence.
Detailed Answer:
I think that it`s just a co incidence that your symptoms developed soon after taking ventolin puffs. Because from the history it seems that you do suffer from anxiety.
Ventolin may cause palpitations but it`s been 2 days and effects would have worn off by now. However do get your BP checked because some times high BP may give a feeling of uneasiness.

I feel exhausted and have chest tightness, but I guess this could all be me and not Ventolin.
Brief Answer:
Chest tightness may be seen in asthma
Detailed Answer:
Ventolin does not cause chest tightness. Chest tightness may be seen in asthma and ventolin is used to relieve it. You were prescribed ventolin so please get yourself checked for asthma.
Some time a patient may be allergic to a drug which may also manifest as chest tightness. Discuss this point also with your physician. In fact I suggest you take a health check which should include heart and lungs.It`s better to rule out any ailment before writing off one`s symptoms as anxiety.
