What is it called? And after a person with asthma takes their enhalor does there heart be really fast like that? Like I think is what I am trying to ask is after I take my enhalor my heart beats extremly fast and I shake like crazy, so is that the same thing as what it is called when your heart beats really fast?

fast heartbeats are called ‘tachycardia’. What you are describing is side effect of beta-agonist group drug from inhaler.it causes fast heart rate, & tremors. pl consult your family doctor. he will prescribe you another one with less salbutamol .

technical term for rapid heart beat is tachycardia. If that’s what you’re looking for.

It is called sinus tachycardia, but why do you shake along with that?

Emergency inhalers contain some stimulants to help with your breathing; however, they should not impact you so strongly. You should talk to your doctor about that, as it could be a sign of something more serious.

Normal adult heart beat is 60-100 beats per minute. Above 100 beats per minute is called tachycardia.
