Do i need to see a dr. after inhaling too much bleach or chemicals while cleaning? my chest hurts a bit

Short term: Depends upon the chemicals but most fumes from diluted cleaning agents, can be irritating but not harmful. You might be a little oversensitive to one of them or perhaps some underlying asthma. Check with a pulmonary doctor if the symptoms persist.
