I started working at a metal recycling plant at the beginning of the year. Metal is grinded into very fine particles along with plastic at this particular facility, and although the office has its own air system, dust & particulate matter still enters in from the facility.
I've never had a history of asthma or respiratory problems, but for 4 months, since I started working here, I've felt like I can't catch my breath when I'm at work, and it carries long into the evening, when I leave work. I'm being treated with Q-Var and Albuterol, but the rescue inhaler doesn't seem to be very effective.
When an attack starts, it can last for days. I'm not gasping for air, but I have to take deep, forced breaths, it's very exhausting. It doesn't disrupt my sleep, I just have a slight wheeze at night.
Has anyone else had a similar situation?
