Hello and thanks for writing in at HCM
In my view if you have difficulty in breathing with shortness of breath than you must go to ER and get you oxygen saturation check and if needed get Oxygen inhalation to expel out the poisonous gases you have inhaled due to reaction of the two chemicals.
Get you self admitted in time unless it is too late. The symptoms and complication depends on the amount of gases you have inhaled. Get admitted until you feel every thing is ok with you and doctor ensure that you have no complication in future.
Best wishes and get well soon
