Hi,

Check chest X-ray and electrolyte levels. Stay at least 6 hours in hospital, after they may discharge you! This must be done, learn some breathing exercises and meditation, it can prevent any long-term side-effects as more than 80% toxins goes out our breath.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
