    Hi Sorry you are experiencing this . Is this the first time that you are using Ventolin ? Ventolin is a bronchodilator and used as a rescue inhaler. Do you use any other inhaler ? Some of the rescue inhalers do cause your heart rate to go up but then it should return to normal . I would check with you doctor and see what they recommend . Hope you are feeling better soon.
