I Got Very Bad Cough While Cleaning With Bleach

was cleaning today with a bleach solution, 3/4 bleach to 1/4 water, not very ventilated, but ac window was running (enclosed porch). Had to leave, no mask, but was doing that for about 4 hours. All I could smell was bleach, coughing now on and off. Earlier could not catch my breath , was going to go to ER but didn t. I found by breathing into a papertowel holding my nose I could start breathing again. Have I caused damage, do I need medicine or see someone. I am a smoker and can t even smoke as earlier today I couldn t even get a deep breath. I used my daughters inhaler to try and open my lungs better, she has asthma . I do not and are healthy.

as it is your body immunity to fight against unwanted substance or environment..which seems to be week,so if you want fast action follow antibiotics treatment which are immunity boosters to cope up with problem,,see inhalers cant be used like that without recommendation,,so see your doctor.
