Can Shortness Of Breath Due To Aortic Stenosis And Stiff Lungs Hurting Lungs?
I have always been offended by the smell of onions or garlic cooking but now it seems to make my lungs burn and gives me a headache. I suffer from shortness of breath due to aortic stenosis and stiff lungs. Do you think these odors are actually hurting my lungs?

If you are allergic to these odours then it will result in shortness of breath. burning of your airways is more attributed to irritant substances. Either one will result in symptoms which are detrimental to the airways and the lungs..
