What Causes Weakness And Tremors In The Upper Arm Post Intake Of Albuterol?

5 days ago I was put on Albuterol and Budesonide for COPD. About an hour after doing my treatment, I have weakness and tremors in my upper arm, at the slightest movement they spasm, and last night I woke to terrible leg cramps. Does one have anything to do with the other?

Hi & Welcome to HCM.
You seem to have developed side effects of the drug Albuterol. Such side effects can be minimised if you start taking Albuterol inhaler rather than tablets or injection.
Hope this helps you to get relief from the side effects mentioned above.
Regards.
