Breathing fumes from antifreeze cannot be good for your health as antifreeze is poisonous. If you are smelling fumes in your car you probably have a heater core leak. I recommedn you have this repaired ASAP. The only fix for a leaking heater core is to replace it. A very labour intensive job that is quite expensive.

Can having too much antifreeze in your car cause it to overheat?
No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.
The heat goes out when the car over heats?
the reason that the heat would cease to work when the car overheats is that the car is low on coolant. coolant is warmed by the engine as it transfers heat away from the engine. the heated coolant passes through heater hose and through the heater core. The blower motor blows air through the heater core warming the air and pushes the warm air through the vents in the car to you. the heater core is a small radiator in the dashboard of most vehicles. If there isn't coolant in the car, the engine becomes too hot thus the overheating. a side effect of this is that the lack of coolant means that coolant cannot get to the heater core to be warmed to warm you
Does your car always over heat when your head gasket is blown?
the answer is that if you blow the head gasket your car will overheat if you are driving any distance at all. You should smell coolant and see signs of leakage. It could be that head gasket is fine but you have had the bolts around the cylinder head work lose or be improperly torqued down. If you do nothing but drive short distances and the gasket is leaking at back end of clylinder many times it will just lose coolant of course this is serious too . If you see coolant leaking it is many times serious not just a hose or fitting .
