Hydrochloric acid isn’t a persistent toxin at all. And damage it causes happens immediately. As in, I once opened a bottle of concentrated hydrochloric acid outside of a chemical fume hood, and the inside of my nostrils started to burn within a second. I quickly put the cap back on, and the burning was gone within a minute.
I can also thus inform you that you can’t smell hydrogen chloride gas (hydrochloric acid out of solution) - you only feel a burning sensation in your nose.
Third, hydrochloric acid in urine is, to the best of my knowledge, practically unheard of. People don’t pee stomach acid. I’m pretty sure they don’t pee vinegar, either. What’s more likely, however, might be ammonia.
Ammonia inhalation will have pretty much the exact same effect - immediate, and if it’s only a brief exposure, the effect will be brief as well. I’ve also experienced this due to some misadventures with cat urine. After prolonged exposure, the worst I got was a sore throat. Lungs still work just fine, and stomach was completely unaffected.
I think we can narrow this all down to your anxiety. Oddly enough, psychology has the capacity to make you physically ill. Not just feel ill, but actually become ill. But, treat the psychological issue, and the illness resolves itself,

Quit worrying. Y
our body kept you from getting hurt-except psychologically. If you had smelled acetic acid vapor, it would have smelled like vinegar and you would know that immediately. Besides it wouldn't hurt you anyway for one brief sniff.
Hydrochloric acid can be VERY bad to inhale, but your b
ody would have neutralized it before you wrote your question. If you had had real problems, the HCl would
have given you chemical pneumonia, not a "heavy throat" or burning stomach.
Since you already know that you have a problem, perhaps it's time to seek counseling for it. Half o
f a cure is a diagnosis and you have that. I might add that
if you don't seek counseling, you at least should diligently avoid those activities which will put you in a position where you can find something you don't understand.
hope it helps
The pH of a solution is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. A solution with a high number of hydrogen ions is acidic and has a low pH value. A solution with a high number of hydroxide ions is basic and has a high pH value. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with a pH of 7 being neutral.
