Brief Answer:
Recommendation
Detailed Answer:
hello and thanks for sending the question.
It is certainly possible that you are experiencing some effects of inhalation of the fumes. I would say that if you're otherwise feeling relatively well you should recover by removing yourself from the area where these fumes are present.
recovery might take 24 to 36 hours. It is important that you make sure that you get fresh air. It is also important that you maintain good hydration. If for some reason the symptoms get worse or if you develop anything else such as weakness blurred vision or other problems you should bring this to the attention of the local physician.
For now I would do these supportive measures and you should feel better soon.
