Inhaled too much bleach, and now i can't breathe right?!
Question:
Inhaled too much bleach, and now i can't breathe right?
I work at a humane society, and yesterday, i did a lot of face to face stuff with bleach and i inhaled a LOT of fumes, as well as cleaned with it all day. Since yesterday, i have been having such a hard time breathing. It feels as though i need to work my lungs, because if i breathe out, my body doesn't seem to naturally want to breathe back in. It just kind of stops. (I couldn't nap today because of this..)
I'm really worried about this, is it anything serious? Thank you.
Answers:
It very well could be serious, although if you can breathe at all after a day you may be OK. There could be some scarring of your lung tissue, also need to watch for infection. I would certainly let my doctor check it out.
