Hi, I Inhaled Bleach & Power Germ Chemicals At My Cleaning Job Today About 45Minutes Ago. 15 Mins After Inhaling The Chemicals, I Started To Sweat, Struggled To Breathe And My Throat Is (Wheezy) Also Hurting When I Breathe. What Do You Suggest
Thanks

Hello. Welcome to HCM,
As you have inhaled the bleach while cleaning it will reach the lungs and causes irritation of the respiratory tract and the eyes.
As soon as you are exposed to the bleach you should leave that place and you should come to the open environment so the symptoms will come down. The condition will improve in 30 -45 mins nothing to worry.
The inhalation of fresh air will replace this bleach and make you comfortable, so nothing is required for your condition all these symptoms will improve. Thank you.
