Hello,
* Propane does alter many of the respiratory and circulatory parameters if inhaled over a period of time in closed chambers.
* Kindly get the basic evaluation done with your primary care provider if at all any damage has been done or not with the help of pulmonary function test and get assisted for preventive measures as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
