Earlier like about 10 minutes ago I was cleaning my bathroom. Although i don t remember pouring much of the Clorox Bleach into my bathtub but i do think I think I inhaled it too much. Now i feel tired and when i breath my lungs feel weak and I also have shortness in breathe. Can anyone help?

Hi,
These symptoms are likely to last only a short while. I suggest you breathe fresh air and drink some water. If you start wheezing or struggling to breath or you get pain in your chest, I suggest you go to the ER.
