Asthma treatment making me HUNGRY??!!?

I wound up in the ER the other dark from a combination of a chest cold and an asthma attack, now I enjoy to toke up on albuterol in the nebulizer every 4 hours. In postscript to the increased heart rate, I am freaking STARVING!! OMG I could eat everything surrounded by the house. I just ate my usual breakfast of Activia, a piece of integral grain toast, and 10 almonds, which usually does me fine until mid afternoon, but I surface like I've not eat in days. Does the albuterol result in this?? I don't seem to remember anyone this ravenous the closing time I had to use it close to this, but it's been a few years.Asthma treatment making me HUNGRY??!!?
It doesn't effect me that route. However when I have to lug steroids for my asthma, it sure does. Did they give you (inject or orally) Prednisone? That can product you super hungry, mean, and the fancy of restlessness.
More than likely, it's what's surrounded by the nebulizer. Do they have you on steroids of any sort? When I go to the ER, almost yearly, for an unstoppable asthma attack, they other put me on prednisone, and I gained 10 pounds (each time). This concluding time, I just refuse to eat one darkness and I didn't gain the weight.
Oh great!! I of late got backbone from the doctor and he put me on prednisone and albuteral for my nebulizer..I guess its another 10 lbs on this already overweight frame of mine :(
I knew I ate more during asthma treatments but didn't really contribute it to the medication.but sounds like explicitly the culprit.
Lets see...do I want to breath or lose weight?? its a tough finding :)
best of luck to you fellow asthmatics....
