Will The Lightheadedness After Cleaning With Bleach Go Away?

I was cleaning with bleach and CLR and I noticed some of the smell but didn't bother me much. I now feel very light headed some twitching in my face and when I walk I feel as if I am going in slow motion. Will this pass?? I was cleaning for 2 hours and have felt like this for about 5 hours after.

Hello,
This is because of the bleach fumes.
It will be better if you get out of the area and go outside to have fresh air.
Secondly call some one for help . There can be unconsciousness because of the fumes.
you should sit and not roam around , otherwise there can be unconciousness .
In doubt do reply.
