What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Sore Throat After Inhaling The Paint Fumes?
Hi, I was spray painting outside earlier today and think that I may have accidentally inhaled some of the fumes (I wasn t wearing a mask) I wasn t painting for long but I can feel a slight shortness of breath/sore throat but don t know if this is just because I am panicking after reading stuff online! (I m a bit of a hyperchondriac!)

you should correlate your symptoms with fumes you have exposed. if it is in the proportion of it than it is not fear. but if you are feeling such a symptom then you should contact the nearby family physician. take the low dose steroids initially, that will give you symptomatic relief. thanx healthcare magic.
