Hi.  I have an artificial aortic valve.  I tried painting my car in my garage.  I used a mask but it didnt end up working very well.  I breathed the fumes quite a bit.  My throat was irritated and I had a cough,  Six days later, I feel short of breath.  My regular workout was too hard for me and my resting heart rate is over 100 and it is usually about 80.  Should I be concerned at this point?
Our lungs have a tendency to respond to the allergens from outside atmosphere, in a general any pollutant from outside which we inhale is going to irritate the lungs most likely your lungs responded to allergens (paint) in your casein response to allergens from outside lungs produces large amount of mucous, special cells called histamines are released in blood most likely it is an issue with the lungs and not your valvestaketab augmenting duo for 3 days syrup born q 2 SF twice tab cetirizine 1 get a chest x-ray done and TLC/DLC donas not relieved in 3 days plan for a 2 d echo cardiographythank you
