Should I Be Worried About The Burning In Chest After Inhaling Toxic Fumes During Pregnancy?

There is still construction going on and I have been breathing a variety a fumes (paint, new furniture, new carpet) for the past 3 days. I ve noticed a burning in my upper chest area every afternoon. Is it related to the fumes and being that I m pregnant, how concerned should I be and should I avoid my office for some time?

Hello dear, thanks for trusting health care magic.
Just take steam twice a day for 3 days and in case work is still going on then avoid that place for sometime.
