Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 how often are you taking the albutoral. It can cause headaches along with the racing heart. I take my inhaler which is the same thing as needed. I don't take it every 4 hours because it will cause jitters, racing heart and the blood pressure to go up. jennifer [ ] side effect ????????? Hi guys, I was hoping maybe someone could help me. I have been experiencing severe headaches and what feels like my heart racing for about a week. I do not know if this could be a side effect to one of my meds or what. ALso trying to decide what doctor to call RA doctor or primary care. I am currently taking leflunomide(arava), gabapentin (neurontin), prednisone, cyclobenzapr(flexeral), vitamin d, tramadol (ultram), albutral(as needed for asthma),and lisprinol(for high blood pressure).

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Angie, You probably need to call your primary care Dr. as he has a better overall picture. Have you checked your B/P?. The headaches could be high B/P or caused by one of the meds. If your heart is beating too fast that could be a serious problem esp with the headaches. Hope you get to feeling better soon. linda Angie <anpgie-long@...> wrote: Hi guys, I was hoping maybe someone could help me.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 could be the prednisone causing high BP & headaches. It did to me.

This morning I noticed that many of the veins in my legs, torso, and arms are very noticeable- don't know if that is an effect of the blood pressure or what. The pressure goes down for a day- not to normal, but much less- and then right back up. ~Marie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
