Brief Answer:
Common reaction to bleach
Detailed Answer:
This is almost certainly related to the bleach. It is very irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes. This will almost certainly resolve rather quickly. One thought is to take a shower and make sure that you are completely free of any residual deposits of fumes on your clothes. Also, wash these clothes and put new ones on.
I hope that this helps.
