How To Get Relief From Breathing Problems Due To Use Of Industrial Chemicals?
I am having difficulty breathing after cleaning with industrial chemicals tonight. I feel shortness of breath when breathing thru my nose, but if I inhale through my mouth I get deep chest coughing that is painful in my esophagus. Is there anything I can do to find relief? Drinking water does not seem to help.

Thank you for asking!
Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing with history of exposure of industrial chemicals needs a little work up. A simple chest radiography with a little EKG would be a good start. You need to reduce the exposure to the stimulus before it is too late. Get in touch with your pulmonologist and let them see how debilitating it is.
