Does anyone think that this relates to them and could be the cause of their problems?
I had been having many strange symptoms - extreme lethargy, nausea, headaches, fogginess, dizziness, muscle weakness etc. Had a bunch of tests and no answers...I have a clothes dryer in the house and been using it for many years. Often with the house closed up. I have just discovered that this can cause carbon monoxide poisoning - low level exposure over a long time. Please see below:
Dr. David G. Penney has conducted one such study. He suggests that long periods of exposure to carbon monoxide, even at low levels, can result in long-term effects. He calls this chronic carbon monoxide poisoning. This can cause effects in an individual for days, weeks, months, or even years. Results vary depending on the age and health of an individual.
For the purposes of Dr. Penney’s study, the term “chronic” is used to describe how long the carbon monoxide exposure lasts, not how long the resulting effects are.
Physical symptoms: headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle pain, joint pain, chronic fatigue, dizziness, numbness, tingling, vertigo, cold hands/feet
Cognitive / Memory Impairments: attention problems, multi-tasking problems, word-finding problems, short-term memory problems, verbal and/or visual deficits.
Affective Disorders (emotional/personality effects): irritability, anxiety, lack of motivation, temper, loss of interest, sleep disturbance.
Sensory and Motor Disorders: blurry vision, double vision, buzzing in the ears, decreased co-ordination, speaking, eating and swallowing disorders.
This discussion is related to Weakness, Dizziness, Tired, Headache.

I have been given Nexium to reduce stomach acid - this helped a bit with nausea...but didn't solve the problem completely or the dizziness or headaches.
Have taken to opening the house up often to let the fresh air through as well as the Dr gave me a nasal spray prescription that is for sinus and allergies.
The headaches and dizziness have mostly stopped now, but still slight nausea - I think the Nexium takes 4 weeks to work completely.
The nasal spray has stopped a lot of the symptoms - allergy/sinus problems.

I really hope there is a real reason for all these symptoms cause it's just not serious mentally and physically healthy people to suffer from this and to be told it's panick attacks. I really hope that doctors from all over the world pay more attention to this disease (?) cause people from all over the world are desperate and lost and don't know what to do further in their lives.
