The taste in your mouth can come from the Albuterol or a combination of drugs. It is not unusual. Use a mouth wash at night before you go to bed. If that doesn't work ask your friendly pharmacist.
Alubuterol is used to treat lungs. It is primarily used short term to treat coughs caused by lung congestion (pneumonia) and allergies. It is used long term to treat lung disease. If the problem only occurs at home it could be something as simple as wet leaves, pets, fireplace creosote or residue, smoke or dust, upholstered furniture, carpeting, and most certainly open windows. My spouse had lung disease for a number of years. I was very good a managing it. No colds, flu, allergy flares or lung infections; I changed filters every two weeks.
There are things you need to do now to eliminate several possibilities.
0. Do not open windows or doors screens.
1. Have your furnace professionally cleaned.
2. Change the filter in your furnace to a 3M Filtrete Filter that traps allergens, dust, smoke, pet dander, virus, bacteria and mold spores. Change it every two weeks for two months. Thereafter every month. You should be breathing better and depend less on the inhaler after the first month.
3. Use a fan at night on low speed when you sleep. It circulates stagnant air and helps you breathe easier. Make sure the blades are dust free. It does not blow ON YOU. It only used to circulates low level air flow.
4. Do not use your fireplace unless it is electric.
The furnace filter is very important. Everyone and their brother sells a pleated filter. 3M is the only filter that expressly lists everything it removes. I use the 3M Filtrete 1900. Every time you open a door or window you invite mold spores in the house. It is in the ground. Every time you walk in the yard you release it and breathe it. The filter states 90 days. Ignore it. You need to have clean air at home first; the 90 days come later.
If you do not feel better, it is not an allergy to nature. I could be in your house. Buy a plastic mattress cover with a zipper. Use a regular cotton mattress cover over it. IF *it* is in the mattress it will stay inside the mattress cover. These cost a little more but they wear well. You will have it a long time. If you have upholstered furniture in the room where you spend most of the time when you are home, have Service Master clean your carpets. An then clean your furniture. Cover it completely with sheets.
If these tests/trials don't give you relief, the next stop is a Pulmonologist. If you have a undiagnosed lung issue the faster you get it under control the faster you will feel better.
Albuterol is a bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways and increases air flow to the lungs. The tightness you feel in your chest may be related to restricted air flow. Most will feel a similar affect with an an oxygen concentrator and also during lung therapy.
Be aware. When we moved our new doctor thought I was loony when I talked about filters. By the time he had a new baby he was using the same filter as I was! He still does and he still changes it every 30 days.

Woke up last night barely able to breathe, tight chest, wheezing.
I was given albuterol inhaler when i had diverticulitis like 5 months ago. I have been using the inhaler to help me breathe lately. Is it just allergies? Im pretty healthy. I went to the gym yesterday and did a bit of cardio. No problems there. Only seems to happen at certain times
