What Causes Breathing Difficulty After Exposure To A Burnt Tire’s Fumes?

I was just out with a friend of mine, we were washing his car, after he got done he started burning his tires. Just showing off. I was standing behind the car recording it and I breathed in the fumes coming off the tires. Like a lot. Shortly after I became light headed and began feeling lethargic. I threw up, and still feel this way. Should I seek medical help? Can the fumes be dangerous?

Yes, you should see doctor as soon as possible since this is kung damage due to tires fumes and specific tests are required,lung xrays and ENT examination. Fumes are usually not dangerous and dont cause permannet damage but as I said doctors evaluation is required.
