Could Being Around Solvent Based Paint Lead To Sleeplessness?
Question: Hi, haven't slept for two nights. I Have been using solvent based paint in my house . Could this be keeping me awake. Thank You.
Brief Answer:
No, this is unlikely to keep you awake.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
No, this is unlikely to keep you awake if your only symptom is insomnia (not able to sleep).
But if you have associated night time cough or wheezing or chest pressure or Heaviness then this solvent based paint can cause insomnia.
So please let me know
1. Do you have any other symptoms like coughing, breathing difficulty, chest tightness or chest pressure?
2. Or your have only insomnia without any of the above symptoms?
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

Hi,
I take Pride Lithium, 1000mg per day. A side effect of this is shortness of breath. Also take mirtazapine 30 mg. Would either interact with fumes to cause the problem.
Thank You.

Brief Answer:
No interactions with fumes.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
No interactions of fumes with your current drugs.
Your current drugs are psychiatric medicines.
So you must be having some psychiatric illness.
What's that illness?
Do you have chronic insomnia or is it since last 3 days only?
I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
