Can Taking Primatene Tablets Instead Of Albuterol Inhaler Result In Wheezing?

I took two Primatine Tablets this morning because my albuteral inhaler ran out, to clear my airway, I was weazing due to my asthma. The package was in my medicine cabnet sealed, however after I looked at the expiration date, it expired back in 2008. I feel fine and my airway cleared, but now I am wondering about possible problems from taking this. Should I be concerned?
