Do you usually use an inhaler? You shouldn't use old medication.
Call the advise nurse & make an apt. with your doc. for a check-up.

Was the inhaler ment for you or someone else? Some hospitals have a "ask a nurse" line. If you can find such a hospital, I would advise calling them. I would be concerned. Even though the inhaler had not been opened, the ingredients can change composition with time. If you do not get better soon, I would suggest ER. Good Luck

It wont make problem. It's just ur imagination since u have used an expired one. If this continues better consult a doctor.

if you used an Albuterol inhaler or one like it, your probably having symptoms from the med itself. that particular inhaler and some like it will cause rapid heartbeat and dizziness. if it gets worse, go to ER

nope, that is a very common side affect from albuteral and atrovent inhalers. The feeling will subside
