reaction to albuterol or hyperventilating

I just was in the hospital overnite again!. Had a scary feeling like I was going to pass out. Got dizzy, cold rushing feeling through my body. Dr could not find anything wrong with me. He suggested I was hyperventilating during my neb treatment, that I should not deep breathe and should take 4 regular breaths, take a break and then repeat. I get rapid heart rates too. Pretty scary. Then we tried Xopenex with the Dr standing there and it happened again. So he blamed that. the next 3 neb treatments with albuterol were OK. Just before being discharged had another dizzy spell, no nebs during that one to blame. Next treament I did get it again. Stopped, waited restarted it and made it thru. I have the Doc stumped! he is trying to blame a interaction with my other drugs as well, maybe. Wants to take away meds one by one and see. He wants to blame my Theophylline, only been on that 2 weeks, but I have had the rapid heart beats and dizzy spells before ever taking Theo.
Also on: Pulmicort, Serevent, Prednisone, Intal, Spireva, Singulair.
Halcyon, Xanax prn, (took one when I got home!), Drixoral.
Anybody got any suggestions or experiences???
