Depends what the aerosol is.

They used to use refrigerants alot in asthma puffers, and they still do use a drop of 134a refrigerant in ventolin puffers.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8349485/

Metered-dose inhalers are frequently used in treating pulmonary diseases associated with bronchoconstriction, chiefly asthma and chronic bronchitis. These aerosolized medications are not without the potential for adverse effects. The author describes two patients who likely had adverse reactions to the Freon propellants used in the inhalers. These reactions are reported in order to alert physicians to their possible occurrence and to suggest a rational treatment approach.

They still use 134a in ventolin puffers, but its a "purer" form supposedly. Whats funny is the product page claims its not a CFC.

VENTOLIN HFA contains a micro-crystalline suspension of salbutamol sulfate in propellant HFA-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane). It contains no excipients. Each actuation delivers 100 mcg of salbutamol (as sulfate). This product does not contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as the propellant.

But if you look into it...

There is essentially no difference between HFA-134a and R-134a; they are the same chemical, 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane, but the "HFA" designation indicates a higher grade of purity, primarily for medical applications like metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), while "R-134a" typically refers to the industrial-grade refrigerant used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The core molecule and physical properties are identical, but the purification process is more extensive for HFA-134a to meet strict medical safety standards.

If you happen to have some genetic predisposition for this (people with a family history of arrythmias seem to be more susceptible to the effects of these drugs), a few hits of a inhaler could prolly do it. One puff of refrigerant like r-12, and it could trigger a heart attack, easily.
