What Causes Tremors While On Albuterol For Pneumonia?

I have been having some tremors, and minor seizures today. I was on albuterol for pneumonia, but stopped taking it after a leg tremor yesterday. I have had many head injuries due to horseback riding falls. I also have cysts on my thyroid. low blood pressure, and low body temperature. I will see my doctor tomorrow. but what should I do now?

Dear patient
Albuterol is beta receptors stimulator which acts as bronchodilator and relieves cough in pneumonia. All beta stimulators have side effects of tremors due to sympathetic stimulation. There is nothing to worry as tremors will stop after medicine is discontinued.
