I just cleaned my bathroom using acid and accidentally inhaled some of the fumes. I'm a bit worried now and wondering if that could harm my health in any way. Could this be something serious or should I just wait it out?

Inhaling fumes from strong acids can irritate your respiratory system and may cause symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, or throat irritation. If you continue to experience symptoms or feel unwell, its important to seek medical attention promptly. Ensure you ventilate the area well and avoid prolonged exposure to fumes in the future.

View allI'm really anxious because I accidentally mixed red Harpic with some floor cleaning acid and then breathed in what tasted like a bitter breath. I found out that Harpic shouldn't be mixed with acid since it can release chlorine gas, but I only realized this after. It's been about 30 minutes since it happened and I don't feel any discomfort yet, but I'm worried since I read online that inhaling chlorine can cause pulmonary edema. I'm trying to get an appointment with a pulmonologist, but nothing's available right now. Do you think I need to see a doctor urgently for this, or is there something I can do right now to prevent any issues? I'm pretty worried, please help me.
