Hi i was cleaning the tub last night with straight bleech and the mold that goes around the tile. i was also using some mold and mildue cleaner. My eyes started burning and then it became hard to breath. I did leave the room and throw a fan in the bathroom. Today I still am have a difficult time breathing .

Hi, you have a high chance of inhaling the chemicals in those strong bleaches and solutions. They do destroy the soft,gentle mucosa of your nose ,throat and airways.there may be some swelling and inflammation of the airways leading to their narrowing and resulting breathing difficulty.You better see a doc to relieve your symptoms, sometimes these conditions may aggravate.
