What Causes Dizziness After Inhaling Bleach?
We had a leaking bottle of bleach that was sitting over our air conditioning unit's vent. We and everyone who has come into our house had been smelling bleach for a few days now. We didn't know where it was coming from and have just discovered this. My husband and I had both noticed that we were feeling sick like the flu and I have been experiencing dizziness. Could this have been cause by the bleach smell traveling through our air conditioner vents?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that this could contribute to your symptoms. If you notice they completely resolve within a few hours after the bleach has been removed then it was definitely the cause.
If the symptoms remain then there is likely another cause such as acute illness (eg flu, cough and cold).
I hope this helps
