Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Inhalation of bleach or ammonia could result in varied symptoms such as those that you experiencing. The mixture of both would result in more symptoms.

The side effects can vary from mild to severe. In some cases of inhalation there may be injury to the lungs and other aspects of respiratory tract.

It may be best for you to see your doctor for an assessment.

I hope this helps
