Pulmonologist 's  Response
thanks for asking your question
I completely understand your problem
chlorine poisoning is life threatening.
if you have symptoms like dizziness ,breathlessness, headache. you should consult a pulmonologist who can get a chest xray and other blood investigations to diagnose chlorine poisoning features.
Respiratory symptoms include difficulty breathing and fluid in the lungs. Digestive system symptoms include burning in the mouth, swelling of the throat, throat pain, stomach pain, vomiting, and blood in the stool.

so don't panic it seems like a mild poisoning.

thanks/regards

may god bless you with good health
