Any medical professionals?
I have been having pressure in my chest. I am 22 year old with a pacemaker and asthma. So, i took my xopenox nebulizer and now i feel worse. I feel short of breath,jittery, and still pressure in my chest. Why would the nebulizer make me worse?

Xopenox is not supposed to make your heart beat faster, nor make you more short of breath, which leads me to believe you have something else going on besides your asthma. I really think you should get it checked out tonight. There is all sorts of things it 'could' be, but unless you're evaluated, you won't get sleep anyway. With a history like yours (poor guy/girl) I think you should get checked out in the ER. Maybe you have pneumonia, maybe something with your heart or pacemaker. Hope you feel better!

Nebulizer or breathing treatments are generally stimulants, if your heart is already labored (chest pressure) the extra stimulation, Adrenalin's response, maybe what is making you feel worse. you should see a doctor.

You need to contact your doctor immediately. The nebulizer may not be making you feel worse. It may be something else
