Hello, I'm half way through doing the first coat of new paint on my bedroom and I'm feeling quite unwell. I have a headache as well as dizzyness and feel a little sick to my stomach, although some food helped with that. I had the door and window open, though it is small, and a fan on low in an attempt to circulate the air, but painting, I ended up with my face very close to the paint at all times. I was in the room working for about an hour and 45 minutes, before the lightheadedness got to me and I went out for some fresh air. I'm wondering if it would be save to go to sleep right now, as I feel very ready to pass out as is, or would it be better to stay awake until the symptoms subside? Thanks a lot.
