What Causes Chest Tightness After Inhaling Paint Fumes?
I accidentally inhaled spray paint fumes earlier today. I was in a well ventilated area but somehow still managed to inhale quite a bit as there was a sudden breeze blowing in my face.I feel very tight chested. Is this cause for concern? Do I really need to see a doctor?

You could be having Allergic Asthma. Please avoid inhalation of paint fumes.
You can use salbutamol inhaler to help you if the chest tightness is severe
