What is a common side effect of nebulizer treatment?

Elevated pulse is a common side effect of nebulizer treatment, particularly when bronchodilators are used as part of the therapy. These medications work by relaxing the muscles around the airways, which can help improve airflow to the lungs. However, they can also stimulate the heart and lead to an increase in heart rate, or pulse. This effect is often temporary and can be more pronounced in individuals with underlying conditions or sensitivities to the medications used in the nebulizer.

While reduced heart rate, weight loss, and excessive salivation may also be side effects associated with various medications or health conditions, they are not typically linked to nebulizer treatments. Therefore, the elevation of pulse is the most relevant and common side effect in this context.
