Asthma attack? Did I hurt my baby?

Hello everyone,
I am currently 18 weeks pregnant and I went to my sisters backyard party because she just gave birth and it was like a family thing. While there the grill fumes and the dogs running (I’m allergic) around triggered my asthma and it was getting hard for me to breathe. I eventually left early because it became triggering and when I got home it got worse. I used my pump 5 times within 6 hours and when I saw it wasn’t getting better I went to the hospital where they gave me a nebulizer and prescribed me symbicort and I felt much better. However at the hospital my pulse ox sat was 92% and my HR was 111 bpm. I have an at home Doppler and measured his heart rate which was 166 bpm. It was higher than normal (130-145 bpm). I am wondering if I could have caused any harm within breathing grill fumes or going 6 hours with trouble breathing?
Thank you!

Re: Asthma attack? Did I hurt my baby?
By the way at home dopplers are more of a fright than a help, stop using it. You don't know what type of sound waves you are sending to your baby, I would be more concerned about that.
