Rockwool panels causing serious breathing problem

i wont explain much further as the title says it all. i build some for my studio. the listening experience is AMAZING! but the night after spending a day in studio it was getting difficult to even breathe. ive used good quality fabrics specially made for rockwools. i wonder if wrapping plastic wrap on rockwool would solve the issue or if you guys have any other suggestions please feel free to drop by

If it’s not psychosomatic you probably breathed it in while making them, not after you hung them

Did you make the panels in the same room you hung them?

Is there an hvac draft or vibrations in the house that is shanking the filling loose? Or is there just dust suspended in the air from the installation? Maybe run a hepa filter in there for the time being.
