Hello,

I think you might have inhaled water.

Do measure your blood pressure, and sugar levels, and record the results.

Try to keep well hydrated, avoid dry air. Do breathe fresh air.

If the symptoms will get worse, then, should consult further with your caring doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
