I also take albuterol (for asthma), and trust me, if you do have asthma, you can definetely play. The way you were describing it, sounds like an anxiety attack over asthma though, and breathing into a bag usually makes an asthma attack worse (at least from my research and my doc told me).

Good luck!! - you'll be in my prayers!
