Experiencing Discomfort On Left Side Of The Lung After Inhaling Smoke
Hi on Saturday night, an incense stick fell onto a plant pot, and it was smoldering all night, I was sleeping in the room for a few hours before I woke and found my flat full of smoke and the fire alarm went off.
I suffer from asthma, but and felt a little breathless after but not to bad. Last night when I went to bed, my left side (lung area) is hurting, it has been hurting ever since, do I have anything to worry about or will it pass?

As you are known asthmatic, smoke is a trigger for asthma . If you are not any regular medication for the same, it would be advisable to consult as smoke may exacerbate your asthma hence you will require some reliever medications.
