944S Boyeee,
when you were in the hospital you were given, most likely, Albuterol or a similar drug. you may have been given a dose of epinephrine, or similar. both of these drugs are a sympathomimetic, (read a stimulate). technically Albuerol is a relatively selective beta2 adrenergic. that is it stimulates the producation of adenyl cyclase, which is an enzyme. to make a long story short, and avoid more pharamacology, this leads to relaxation of the smooth muscles of the bronchial tree. this in turn makes your breathing easier, hopefully.
now to those side effects you had. while albuterol mostly works on the lungs, beta 2, it also effects the heart and other systems a little. Albuterol will reduces the mucus secretion, capillary leaking, but more important is the fact that its basically a stimulate. and if I'm correct, it sounds like you didn't responded too well to the albuterol. in which case they gave you more and more powerful stimulates, ie epi.
in other words you start off with a little coca-cola, a little caffeine, by vapors. then then you pure caffeine, by IV. therfore you did this <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" /> all day.
