Did I make Chlorine gas?

Today in my chem lab I mixed 1g bleach solution (household, I think) with 3ml of 3M sulfuric acid. There was immediately a ton of bubbling and a REALLY strong odor that I accidently breathed in and immediately made me feel light headed. Did I create chlorine gas? It smelled just like I sucked in air from a bottle of bleach. Or was this reaction to dilute to really matter?? Or did I create something else entirely?
