My sister had the same problem just recently (flare up of bronchitis) and she said using a spacer then a quick rinse of her mouth afterwards helped quite a bit in cutting down of her reaction (jitters, racing heart, and a bit of hyperness, i guess that's the word for it). I would stick with trying to find a new inhaler and only settling on albuterol if it is the very last thing you can do then see if using a spacer helps (if you don't already use one, that is).
