Was in attic for an hour without mask. could this cause issue

atticfiberglassinsulation

my bathroom fan was dropping water so i went up to the attic and applied fiberglass insulation to the bare metal vent pipt from the fan out to the roof.

i was up in the attic for an hour wearing short sleeve t-shirts and no mask.
When i came down, i started coughing (4~5 times an hour) and my arm felt very itch even after shower.

I did some research and learned that i should have been wearing long sleeve to protect my skin and wear dust mask to get protection from fiberglass.
All similar posts online were about being exposed 10 minutes or less.

Should i go see a doctor?

Fiberglass can cause mild irritation but is not dangerous. You'll be fine.
