Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should rule out bronchitis (inflammation of airways) in your case. Any form of smoke or fume when inhaled, it causes irritation and inflammation of airways. They cause bronchospasm and this will cause chest pain, coughing and breathlessness (in severe case). So consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (pulmonary function test). PFT will not only diagnose bronchitis, but it will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment is based on severity only. You may need inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids. Don't worry, you will be alright with appropriate treatment. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
