Hi All,
I've been spending a lot of time in my workshop recently and have found myself waking up short of breath with a sore chest almost every day for a month now. I've gone to the docs and am in the middle of having some tests done, so please no 'go to the docs!!' advice, but I do have a question that I'm hoping someone can answer.
I used to wear a respirator whenever I did any sanding or cutting work, and since my chest started getting sore I pretty much wear one all the time now just in case there's residual dust knocking around, but it doesn't seem to stop me getting a sore chest. The two might be totally unrelated, but I was just hoping someone could take a look at the respirator I'm using and let me know if it's sufficient? I have no idea how to check for such things I'm afraid.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/3M-4251-Mai...TF8&qid=1415793272&sr=8-1&keywords=respirator is the one I'm using, and I'm making sure it's fitted snug to my face. I change it about once a month, but will change it sooner if it gets clogged up or dirty.
Any help would be much appreciated!
