Hello
All these symptoms , chocking ( shortness of breath ) and burning sensation are due to irritant nature of ammonia produced by bleaching .
Since two days ago you cleaned your house and still symptoms present so take some steroid inhalation 2 puffs 2-3 times and stop . This will relieve congestion caused by bleach.
Burning of chest will also be relieved by this but if you feel burning in chest then take antacid ( containing oxetacaine ) and this will provide complete relief.
In my opinion this is not case of E R just annoying .
I find this answer helpful
