dear doctor i am a 25 year old and i recently painted my bedroom a week ago I have been letting it ventalate well when i tried to sleep in there tonight and i felt as if I could not breath, had a tightness in my chest and as if my lungs were coated with somthing is this normal?  Should I sleep in another room for a while?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, paint fumes can cause acute allergic reaction in airways. So these fumes can cause bronchospasm and this in turn causes chest tightness, breathing difficulty, coughing etc. So better to inhale fresh air and get out from that room and sleep in other room. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
