There was a lot of black smoke fixed the problem came inside and I got really sick. My head started pounding, all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I feel a little better now still feel pretty dizzy.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is likely that the symptoms would pass since you are already feeling better though it may take a few hours.
You should try to get some rest in the mean time.
If you notice that your symptoms are not resolving or worsening then you should see your doctor for assessment.
Worsening symptoms would be increasing dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, nausea etc
I hope this helps
