Adrenaline???

How long does adrenaline last in the system?  I had stridor 7 hours ago and rushed to hospital as I cannot have salbutamol.  I had adrenaline IM and also nebulised.  7 Hours later my heart rate is still sitting at 120 at rest and I have tingling in my fingers and hands, waves on pain in my left chest (that I had at hospital nothing showed on ecg), and short of breath.  Should I be worried????

If you have tingling in *both* hands, that is probably hyperventilation from worry or fear.  I have experienced it.  Both hands will be involved, if this is the cause.

You can try googling something like 'symptoms of hyperventilation.'

Epinephrine (adrenaline has a plasma half life of 2-3 minutes).  4 hours have passed since you posted this.  What is your heart rate presently?
