Triggered by aspiration during dental procedure

ON 7/23/12 I went to an endodontis for a root canal. During the procedure, they used household bleach (research shows it’s common and it’s not packaged as household bleach). I aspirated on the bleach. 7/26 I went to my MD as a f/u to a non-related incident. I complained of a nagging cough and discomfort. My health also began to deteriorate quickly to the point that I was/am short of breath, winded very easily, walking short distances and talking short spans are difficult, nagging coughs extreme fatigue and chest pains has plagued me for the first few years. I was dx'd with sarcoidosis, which I believe is a direct result of the aspiration on bleach.
