What Causes Shortness Of Breath After Inhaling Spray Paint?
Accidentally inhaled spray paint (black) from being too close to drawers I was painting without a mask and keep coughing up thick mucus with lots of black paint streaks all throughout the large gobs I keep coughing up and I have shortness of breath too... what do I do?

the problem will continue as long as the dusts are within your body as lungs are trying to exhale it out!
not to worry about this as this is a normal reaction of our respiratory system to remove dusts with secretions this way.
take some anti-allergic if coughs are incapacitating!
wait and watch!
