I inhaled a lot of bleach fumes yesterday and I have felt weird since - light headed and not thinking to clear and i want to know if somehow it caused me to have an issue because my partner said that later I lashed out and some some things I wouldn t normally say and apparently it was bad enough to cause us to probably break up and I don t remember the whole incident and I don t want to loose him. That is the only thing we did yesterday that we don t normally do because I am highly allergic to bleach and the ventilation is not that great here. Please Help!!!!
Hello, welcome to Chat Doctor, Inhalation of bleach will irritate the respiratory tract, and it will make you uncomfortable for breathing. If you have inhaled bleach fumes, you can notice as soon as the fumes enters your nostrils. First thing to do is you have to come out that room to the well ventilated place and try to exile all the fumes which as reached your lungs. It will take some time to exile all the fumes you have inhaled. Most of the time it does not require any treatment, and you will be fine in one or two days. If your symptoms are persisting even after two days you may require a course of antibiotics and oxygen. Thank you.
