Albuterol and Migraines
I have recently been suffering from shortness of breath. Once before I had bronchitis and pnenomia and i was prescribed albuterol for that - however when I did use it I got a horrible headache. so recently I used it again and now I have a HUGE headache. Does this contribute to migraines or bring them on? I definately don't need another medication to give me a migraine that is for sure!

I'm sorry you are having problems. We have information on Proventil, aka Albuterol HERE. One of the potential side effects listed is headache, not Migraine.
Good luck

Terri,
Are you having headaches or Migraines? There's a huge difference.
I have asthma, and my rescue inhaler is albuterol. Yes, it gives me a horrendous headache, not a Migraine, every time I have to use it.
This is something to discuss with your doctor. Maybe there are options other than albuterol.
Good luck,
Teri
