Are you taking a short term bronchodilator?
Short-acting Bronchodilators: These meds work quickly to relax the muscles around your bronchial tubes, helping to relieve shortness of breath. These meds are inhaled into the lungs from an inhaler or nebulizer. You often begin to feel relief within a few minutes of using your inhaler or nebulizer.
Common short-acting bronchodilators include:
- Albuterol- inhaler and nebulizer
- ProAir® (Albuterol) inhaler
- Proventil® (Albuterol) inhaler
- Ventolin® (Albuterol) inhaler
- Xopenex® (Levalbuterol) inhaler and nebulizer

I use DuoNeb twice a day - morning and night. If I feel icky, I drag it into work and use it mid-day as well.
Albuterol used to disturb my sleep; I changed to albuterol in the evening since it did not disturb my sleep
Levelalbuterol
Error in my comment above-
I meant to write ✍️ that I changed to Levebuterol in the evening since Albuterol disturbed my sleep. Levabuterol did not disturb my sleep.
