Not heard of Duragilt so cant really advise...i would see your doctor as it obviously has irritated your chest and needs to be checked out. x

[amagran]

I remember duraglit, it is quite a potent smell and probably has strong chemicals in, if youve had it a long time I woulod def get checked out, and get your duraglit chucked out.

Oh I loved the smell of Duraglit many years ago. One though about it, I am sure it sheds tiny particles and you could have breathed some in? Aaah, just noticed Gordon's comment, irritating to the respiratory system. Yes, same as others, get it checked out asap. Libby

I think it will just be a bit of time until your lungs get over the Duraglit shock! My husband did a similar thing over Christmas time and it left him breathless for a quite a few days! BUT if the symptoms get worse - or dont get better - go and see the Doc it could have triggerred an exacerbation. Good Luck! TAD xx
