Some inhalers can cause shakiness, muscle cramps, etc, so it may be stimulating muscles in the GI tract when you use it....just a thought.
Thanks, yeah mostly I think part of it is somatic, cause i know i just convince myself, that i have these problems where in reality i don't. I take the Proventil brand of albuterol sulfate, it's not is nerve racking as the Proair kind. the Proair kind i could take and have nervousness shakiness for hours. or about an hour. Proventil does probably stimulate muscles in my GI. thanks for that tip.

I would compare Proair to the way I react to epinephrine or Primatene inhaler you can buy over the counter. Which in my opinion I really feel that they make epinephrine OTC is really dumb. I think they go with the factor that Epinephrine pens are widely available. Or seems like a run of the mill type of drug. I know that they keep it behind the pharmacy desk, like sudafed. But still, that thing is powerful in high amounts or when not used correctly. I just think, those should be prescription only, they have too much cardio side effects. I know The nervousness is way up there. when i take that.

I do know that some of the autonomic problems may have been brought on by drugs like seroquel and ssris like lexapro that i took for depression. But now that they are gone and I still only just take gabapentin and albuterol, alongwith energy drinks(which im now realizing is not a good idea.) maybe gabapentin contributes a bit, cause sometimes i get senselessly excited for no reason, and that drug may be contributing to that. I will take with my psychiatrist about this. How do u get tested for autonomic dysfunction?
