Can Aerosol Paint Fumes Cause Heart And Breathing Problems?
I was exposed to aerosol paint spray and taken to the hospital. I was adviced to stay away from fumes. The problem is the crsfter next to me claims he has a vent that cleans all the fumes out of the air. My research says these only work in a sealed area not in tents next to each other at a fair. Age 68, 145lbs., generally healthy .. I was given every test in case of a heart attack or mini stroke .. cleared .. Dr. said more than likely aerosol paint fumes caused my heart and breathing problems. I started to feel better as soon as I was taken from the area and given oxygen.

hello
welcome to HCM
paint fumes do have some toxic chemicals that adversely affect the health of a person.
if in case the intensity of these chemicals is more, then they may cause untoward effects on various body parts.
