Hi I ve been given a salamol inhaler but not been diagnosed with asthma - I get a lot of tightness on my chest and the inhaler helps relieve the tightness.. But lately I have started together pins and needles in my hands especially when I go to sleep. My doctor today said I tight be because itake the inhaler. Is this correct.? Please could you advise me Thanks Sandy
HI, thanks for using Chat Doctor Not likely due to ventolinPins and needles are abnormal nerve sensations. They would be termed paresthesia. Paresthesia can be due to different possible causes such as: (1) trauma to the nerves e.g. if there is any compression of the nerves in the neck or shoulder etc. Can be due to acute injury, arthritis, carpal tunnel syn Chat Doctor. I hope this helps
