What Causes Breathlessness And Lightheadedness After Inhalation Of Cleaning Liquid Fumes?

At the office today they were using a blue liquid Lysol cleaner to clean with. After a few minutes my chest got tight and I had a hard time breathing. I began to get light headed and my fingers were tingly on the left hand. I had to step out side for over an hour before I felt 50% better, should I be concerned in the future, this has happened one other time before with the same product but it was worse this time.
