Breathing problems?

[emilydharris94]

Ok so recently a friend and I pulled up the carpet from her grandmothers house which was soaked and covered in years and years of cat and dog urine and feces.
Ever since then we have been having a lot of chest pain that comes and goes along with breathing problems that come and go.
Is it possible it could be from pulling up that carpet? Could the bad allergens and what not be causing some problems?
If so, should we get checked out, it been over a week since then?
And how would it cause problems?
It would be greatly appreciated for some insight, considering we both have anxiety and these chest pains and what not have been making us over worry.
Thank you :)

Yes, that helped a lot. I went to a cvs minute clinic and I was told that was having pretty bad allergic reactions and rhinitis I think it was called? Anyways since then I have been feeling better. Thank you :)

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Allergic reactions can trigger episodes of Asthma. Its likely that the dust in the carpet could have triggered your symptoms of chest pain and breathlessness. Cough, chest tightness and breathlessness the three symptoms are the triad of symptoms for Asthma. Have yourself evaluated for the same. This can be detected by a spirometry test. Please consult your primary care physician for further evaluation.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
