Corticosteroids inhaler rarely can cause headache
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
According to the data you explain you are taking albuterol due to recurrent pneumonia in the last year.
PFT test result you are going to do are very important because they will show to your doctor if you have to take any more albuterol or not.Or you should pass ti another inhaler treatment.
A Chest X Ray is needed to in your situation to see for other diseases of the lungs .
If you suffer from arterial hypertension you have to be careful with the antihypertensive treatment too.
There are other inhalers like corticosteroids that not usually have the headache as one of their side effects too.
But primarily you have to consult your doctor for this and if it is needed he will change your treatment.
Don't worry and take regular your medications.
Wish you a good health
