Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 I am a new member. I have been having medical problems for the last 3 or 4 years. I was working in a room with no outside air for 7 years. I developed severe breathing problems and many medical tests came back respiratory alkalosis and acid base imbalance in my bloodwork. I told the drs. about my working condition but they ignored it. The final specialist, the chief of pulmonology at our teaching hospital, told me to take a course in yoga and find a psychiatrist that does biofeedback. I researched the internet and figured out it out for myself and asked to be moved to a different office that had an airconditioner in a window. I told them I thought the air quality was making me ill. I did feel better for a while. Now the breathing problems are returning and my dr. sent me to an allergist because of a sore throat for the last several months. My sinuses keep running in spite of medication. My allergist did do bloodwork which I will find out about in 2 weeks. The building is an old theater built in 1928, now a performing arts theater. I don't want to ask them to do an air quality test, because apparently I am the only one with problems. However, every person in my old office is a smoker (not in the office) but their symptoms if they had them could come from smoking. I also have fibromyalgia and RA. Any comments would be helpful, especially someone who has had these symptoms. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
