Yes: It is not safe to be putting yourself in a situation where you are inhaling bleach fumes. Bleach can cause a condition called "chemical pneumonitis" which basically is inflammation of your lungs. It is possible for bleach to cause permanent lung damage but if you have no symptoms when you are not working this is unlikely. Yous should discuss with your doctor.

Bleach inhalation: Possibly go see your doctor, but first, make sure you have plenty of ventilation around when you use bleach. Have a fan going. Also consider wearing a mask and diluting the bleach before using it.
