What Causes Chest Discomfort After Inhaling Oven Cleaner?
During saturday, I used a commercial oven cleaner called brillo which is foam oven cleaner. I inhaled a certain amount of this and it forced me to cough several times. I am unsure as to whether I consumed any or not. It is now wednesday and I have had a quite a low level of discomofrt in my chest and stomach, and would just like to know whether the effects of consuming the oven cleaner would have been apparent by now, or am I still at risk of being poisoned by it?

Hello
Thank you for asking in HCM
This situation may occur mostly in normal persons.
As you explain that you feel a kind of discomfort in your chest better to do:
Blood tests for chemical substances
Spirometry test to control your lung function
Prick tests for detecting allergies
According to the results will be the further step.
But as i see in my daily practice it will pass with the time,if not do the above examinations.
Thank you
