How To Reduce Gasoline Inhalation Intoxication

Hello! My husband was working in a enclosed garage I was in the room next door. I walked in to ask him a question and I was hit with a horrible smell of gasoline. He had started working on his motorcycle carburetor. I was only there maybe 4 minutes but I had to get out the smell was too much and I made him open the garage door. I sat in that room next door for about another hour. I did not realize it may have been seeping through the walls because now I just walked in there and the smell was awful. I have been feeling high and drunk since then so about 5 hours now. My eyes are watery and I have this state of confusion, and when I spoke earlier I could not make sense. My husband keep saying you ll be fine soon . But I have never been high in my life and its not really going away...better not not gone. I have a small headache and I feel irritated Its like I ve had a few beers and I m kinda nauseous. Should I have sought medical treatment or will this go away soon. I m like a dry drunk. Thank you!

HI
At this point I think you'll be back to normal in a day or two but it would be a good idea to have a doctor take a look at you
