What Causes Pins And Needles Sensation In Upper Chest With Asthma?

Hello Doctor, as of the past couple of days when i cough, there is pins and needles sensation in my upper chest. I have asthma and history lung infections although i have never felt this sensation before. I am 26 yars old. I use albuterol sulfate in the liqued form with a nebulizer.

Hello and thanks for asking in HCM

I can understand your concern

Sometimes this might be a side effect of the treatment with inhalers, not so common with albuterol but it happens.
So please discuss with your doctor for your complain and probably he will change the treatment.

Regards

Dr. Jolanda
