Could Lung Pain With Body Sore And Pain Have Lasting Results?

i sprayed my shower stall ceiling to floor with triple concentrated bleach then covered the tub floor with a cleaner like comet. i added a little water and began scrubbing it. my eyes started tearing up severely, i wiped eyes, and went back to scrubbing, the smell was horrendously strong and my breathing was compromised. i took my head out of shower stall for a moment and again wiped eyes that i could hardly keep open by now. continued to scrub with face about 1 foot from the tub, with shower doors closed. it got to a point i could not keep eyes open and the tearing was pouring down my face. i couldn t breath, couldn t really stand up now, so crawled out of bathroom and shut the doors, in a short while. the tearing stopped but my thoat was tight and so very sore and burnig, i had wheezing when breathing. i began coughing and coughing for hours on end. i took benedryl and finally got some sleep, but now when i am awke, my lungs hurt when breathing, my whole body is sore and painful. is there a lasting results to what i did? thank you

Pulmonologist 's  Response
thanks for your question

in my opinion you should visit a Pulmonologist and get yourself evaluated as chemicals cause pneumonitis in early and delayed form

Pulmonologist may request for a chest X-ray to see if there is any urgent intervention required or not

if these symptoms persist and chest X-ray has changes your Pulmonologist may prescribe you low dose of corticosteroids for a short period to counter the inflammatory process or he may add leukotreine inhibitors for the same

thanks
