Posted on Fri, 29 Jan 2021

Question: Sometimes I feel like I have had a wave wash over me for about 30 Seconds that renders me almost immobile. Then it goes away and I feel normal. I was out of the US for a little over a month and this started a week or so after I came home

Probably related to the inhaler use

Detailed Answer:

Hello and Welcome,

Based on your description, its possible that the symptoms you described are related to the inhaler you use for your asthma. It can, as an adverse effect, cause tremors and nervousness which you have rightly described as a wave.

Please let me know the inhaler name and the number of times you use it per day to advise accordingly.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
