Answer 1

Astma is a disease entity foremost triggered by reactive substances. These can be inhalants or medicines or even may be food. Your body reacts to the allergens and your respiratory tree constricts. So you cannot have breath well and when you expel air you hear a wheezy sound. The same matter can happen when you make damage to your respiratory tract with chemicals. Smoke of fire, or inhalants for example. This is not true astma if you don't have any astmatic symptoms till now. So you may have damaged your lungs, do not worry they may heal over depending on the injury you have made. But you have to be examined by a practitioner, have your lung listened and may have a couple tests called respiratory function tests (RFT). Maybe you need inhalation medicines maybe not, but you have to be checked to be confident.

Since you have damaged your lungs a bit, in places without allergens you can be pretty symptomless but when heavy new exposures happen your lungs to react much more then before. So, maybe your new home have mites, still dusty or humidity is high. Have your house ventilated good and make someone except you to clean the house without using cleansing material so much because they are inhalant irritants, too.

Never inhale something even if you are sure it is harmless. Lungs are pretty vulnarable to damage and the damage you have made cannot be laid back in most of the time.

Answer 2

Asthma is an actual disease. Not all of the factors that cause it are known, it seems to be inherited and thus genetic predisposed as well. Symptoms are caused both by narrowing of the airways and by swelling of the tissues, which also creates mucus, etc.

Triggers vary from person to person - they can be exercise-related, allergy-related, stress-related, environmentally-related (i.e., dust, gasoline fumes, certain perfumes, etc.)

All that being said, asthma is distinct and different than a anecdotal reaction to a foreign substance. While your immediate symptoms may seem very asthma-like, you're clearly reacting to your mistaken exposure to this "dust-off" stuff, and it would be hard to classify that as a "disease" per se.

What would I advise? Go see you doc and get his advice. If you're not satisfied entirely, ask for his referral to a pulmunologist (a respiratory specialist).

Best to you.

Answer 3

Abusing inhalants can have many side effects -- unfortunately, some are permenant.

At the very least, you need to discontinue abusing inhalants -- permenantly.

You should also seek professional medical advice. If you are lucky, you will have few or no long-term effects. Since many respiratory illnesses can only be treated (as opposed to cured), you may face a long-term or, perhaps, even a lifelong treatment program, if you are not so lucky.

Answer 4

what do you mean you inhaled "dust off" and that you shared it with your friend? anybody who inhales pure chemicals will get a reaction.

number 1, if you do have asthma, then not only "dust off" will trigger an attack, but other factors as well.
there are no "specific asthma attacks" for specific allergens only.

number 2, for a doctor to diagnose asthma, he would have to do tests on you (allergy tests, since asthma is triggered mainly by allergies). this includes dust, pollen, etc. never have i heard of a test that consisted of "dust off" because nobody should be inhaling that in the first place.

what would i advise? go to your family doctor and get tested. if you do have asthma, he must prescribe you some inhalers to relieve any asthma attacks.

Answer 5

You could have damaged your airways. You should see a doctor because it might not be something that will go away without treatment. You also might be allergic to something in your new house that is unrelated to the huffing. Either way, you need to stop huffing because you can cause brain damage as well as lung damage.

Answer 6

For starters don't inhale that crap any more. You need to see a doctor because u could have caused permanent lung damage other than asthma.

Answer 7

You need to shock your lungs back into shape. Find the fattest person that you can and ask them to fart in a closet. Then walk in there and smell for 6 seconds. Then you'll be fine!

Answer 8

Anytime you inhale chemicals you can damage your lungs.Stop huffing and see a doctor and tell them what you did so they can find out how much or if you did any damage to you lungs..

Answer 9

It's been a week, you didn't die, your lungs are probably just rebelling. Use the brain cells you didn't kill and don't do anything like that again. You'll probably be just fine in a few weeks.

Answer 10

go see a doctor immediately. forget about u developing asthma, you can be slowly poisioning yourself. toxis get in your blood line and you can physically be doing damage to yourself. get yourself over to an emergency room and get check out. dont tell them you on purpose did this to yourself, say you walked into a room and the smell got to you.
