I am recently experiencing this, where before I never did.

This only happened after some water leak & mold exposure. The rest of the family does not feel the mold, yet I react to the mold, all depending in what room I am in.

I can easily identify new mold growth, such as the one on my window sill after some idiotic work that I had done by someone.

The more time I spend in a room that is moldier, the more my chest feels tight. The only thing that helps temporarily is a hot bath, for as hot & long as I can take, but mild ones help too. It is ephemeral though & comes back within 24-48 hours after more mold exposure.

I am sensitive to mold and my worst sx is tight chest

I try to stay away from.mold but if that happens i take guaifenesin and lots of water. That prevents me from.going to asthma or broncitus
