I was exposed to asbestos was it long term

Ok so I'm pretty worried I was exposed to asbestos for like 48 hours I broke some plaster bords there was no dust coming from them or anything but is this long term exposure or short term I didn't know what it was at the time but it was not for long I'm just wondering if I will have an early death I'm 16 so I'm scared and it happened over a few months
