What Causes Chest Discomfort After Exposure To Metal Protection Spray Paint?

I have just been spraying metal protection spray paint and now I feel something in my lungs but I don t wheeze when I breathe. The feeling in my lungs or stomach burns a tiny bit and I didn t use a face mask. I don t feel dizzy or nausea but I m a bit worried, should I be worried?

Hi,

The uneasiness in lungs will reduce after the fumes are removed from lungs. Kindly visit your physician to look for any wheeze. Although you have mentioned no wheeze, chest examination should be done to confirm the same. If wheeze is present, Bronchodilators are required. In case of dizziness or breathing difficulty, immediately visit the Emergency room.

Hope that was helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
