What Causes Faster Heart Beats And Shaking Hands While Using Forcort 200?

Am a lady 37yrs, 5.8' tall, 57 kgs weight. I started using Forcort 200 in 2007 and all was ok till recently. When I take a puff, after a while, I can feel kind of nervous, faster heart beats and hands shaking. Am I developing serious asthma attacks?

Firstly, I appreciate your compliance on inhalers since the last 7 years.Foracort inhaler has a bronchodilator which causes these symptoms if you are taking an overdose. You need to regulate your dosage as per the severity of asthma, which your doctor will do. Additionally, take puffs with the help of Spacer, which will give you maximum productivity with a minimum dosage. You also need to gargle everytime you take the inhaler to wash oo any oro-pharyngeal deposition.
