Have Nose Burn And Chest Feels Tight While Breathing Due To Exposure To Chemical Fumes And Ammonia
Hi! So my cat has gotten into the habit of peeing everywhere EXCEPT her litter box. So today I went out and bought some stain removers, lysol, odor remover, pinesol, and bleach and I cleaned the bathroom that we have her litter box in. I'm afraid that all of those harsh chemical fumes plus all of the ammonia may be affecting me somehow. I was in there for maybe 2 and a half hours, and now when I breathe my chest feels tight and my throat and nose burn. What should I do?

Hi and thanks for the query,
The first thing is to disconnect your self from these chemicals . This should be followed by a careful exam by a pulmonologist, Numerous drug options rae available to be prescribed based on the intensity of the clinical findings. A past history of any lung disease should also be noted. It is imperative at this point to get a complee medical consultation and advice.
