Hi Doctor, So Tonight I Was Using A Heated Knife

Hi Doctor, so tonight I was using a heated knife to cut/melt through foam (which had a layer of plastic over it). While cutting black smoke started to appear due to the burning of the plastic, which I was inhaling. Now I am experiencing soreness in my chest and ribs near my diaphragm. Is the smoke harmful? What should I do?
