Is Inhalation Of Chlorine Gas Harmful?

Hi, Dr., I just had an accidental inhalation of gas (chlorine?) from mixing harpic and bleach while I was cleaning my bathroom, I immediately moved out of it but feeling shortness of breath and cough. how long will the symptoms last? I had an angioplasty done 3 years before and now on clopidogrel. Shall I seek medical assistance or will the symptoms subside in sometime?
