Have Asthma Due To Allergies. Use Albuterol. Cause For The Allergy? Treatment?

I have asthma due to allergies (& I am allergic to many things related to breathing, like dust, cat & dog hair)
I use albuterol occasionally when it gets bad

so my question-
once in awhile I get a terrible taste in my mouth when I cough hard
is that from the albuterol or from my allergies?
furthermore, if it is my allergies, is it from one specific source (like cats) or can any allergen cause a
bad taste in ones mouth?

also note- I smoke marijuana regularly (have so for 20 years)

Hi and thanks for using this forum.
I am so sorry about what you have been experiencing.

I am not exactly sure if albuterol or allergies can explain these bad tastes you get once in a while when you cough hard. I think they are totally unrelated. Coughing hard may increase the abdominal pressure and open the sphincter that can release some gastric content back into the mouth that can explain some of this.
if it were from the lung, then breathing alone should make you have this bad taste all the times.

I personally advise against recreational drugs use. If you wish to consider stopping at this time, please consult with your treating physician. However, if you don't wish to right now, i respect your opinion. If you should change your mindset in future, please let us know so that we can help you through the process.

I wish you good health.
