What Causes Headaches And Pressure In The Chest?

I work in a history museum. Someone donated a turn of the century traveling doctor s kit. I was in the same room with it all day today. I have chest heaviness and odd headache. We think the substance may have been chloroform. I did not feel dizzy or light headed. Frankly, it could have been a lot of things. But it has been 4 hours. Still feel heavy in my chest.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes you are right and it must have chlororm. I advise that you should visit local emergency to get assessment about blood pressure and general examination. Wear new clothes after taking bath as the vapors may be at clothes you have worn at office.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
