Root Canal filling fell out.Asthma link?

4 years ago i had a root canal in one of my top front teeth,because of getting hit in the mouth and a root died and caused an infection. Anyways all was good but about 2yrs after the filling fell out I had no pain at all just got food stuck up there with i would get out with a fork,tooth pick,broken Q tip, etc.well i read online that it could cause some bad health problems.

Well yesterday i was cleaning it out with a Q-tip broke in half and i smelt the end of the Q tip it smelt horrible,i had my mother smell it she said it smelt like infection.

So i thought about it some symptoms i have had since this filling has been out for almost 3 yrs are:
-heart palpitations(if that's kind irregular heart beat)
-some shortness of breath,but i still run 3.5mile a night,also feel short of breath sitting around.(never happened before)
-cough up mucus
-blow yellow bloody mucus out of my nose
-a little wheeze which after i cough once is gone
-sleeplessness

I know its not asthma,I've had PFT's done the only thing the Doc's have said is the small airways maybe a little obstructed from me smoking,which i quit.

I plan on going to the dentist later next week.
So do you guys and gals believe this tooth could be causing my problems? I am 98% sure it infected.I mean the tooth has be exposed for almost 3yrs now.My biggest answer i am looking for is would this cause breathing problems

Thanks in advance! Tweet
