hi kaikrishna. i think terry's right. there is definitely a connection with that carpet and what you are experiencing right now. as asthma sufferers (actually, survivors or fighters seems more appropriate) we tend to be really reactive to other allergens. i know how you feel - you are puffy and it's like you itch almost everywhere. we can't really avoid house cleaning but for me, a nice long bath afterwards will relieve the symptoms.i do hope you feel better very soon.breathe easy.peace.-mike i.>> I'd move, the paint fume are or should be gone by now. the more you clean> that carpet the more you are stirring up the stuff you are inhaling and> setting you off.
