How safe is it bieng in a apartment building were they are blowing asbestos in another apartment?

I just moved out of an apartment to an upstairs apartment. I was sick the whole 2 years i lived in the first apartment. Im just above that apartment now and they are blowing asbestos in the apartment below me and I am having trouble breathing and my chest hurts. Could this be because of the asbestos?

1. Absolutely
2. asbestos is no longer used. They do remove it from old buildings. you might have a sensitivity to some chemical fumes from legal stuff in the apt. and you are inhaling dust which is not good.
3. They don't use asbestos anymore for insulation. It's most likely fiberglass, which may not be good for you, but isn't deadly like asbestos.
4. All you can do is ask to be let out of your lease
5. see a pulmonologist & inquire.
