Suggest Treatment For Exposure To Fumes Of Blue Foam Styrafoam

i had a recent exposure (a month ago) to fumes of blue foam styrafoam being burned while hot knifed, which caused a sever reaction; burning airways, pressure in chest, diminished breathing capacity, eyeballs burning, heart beating hard. I have since been transferred to a location where I am not exposed to toxic fumes. However, I am suoer sensitive to all smells, dust, heating system, and I ve noticed that I can no longer fly up the stairs as usual, rather, when I approach the top, my legs feel weak, and finally feel as though they are fainting . My arms, as well, sometimes. After resting a minute or two, I continue down the hall, only to find a sever shortness of breath. Any ideas?

your respiratory system have been healed to its normal. its takes usually 3 months to regain most of the normalcy in your kind of case. so better avoid hard work, same kind of exposure and any irritating fumes. even if it worsens you can go for bronchoscopy and spirometry test. you can also consult pulmologist together with cardiologist if this persists.
