I have not been on here in months...As I have written before that I have this ongoing "out of breathe" thing...Its been going on since last winter..seems to disappear when it gets warm They dont know what it is..Thought is was mild asthma like Ive always had, but I will be walking down the hall to the computer room and instantly not beable to breathe..well after TONS of steroids, antibiotics, worry, xrays...we found out the cause and when I heard this I knew Iwas right! I had been saying that the only time Im not sick is when I leave the house...but everyone said I was nuts..well our furnace was put in 4 yrs ago..lat yr it jst didnt seem to ever get up to the temp I would set it on..This winter about Nov. our furnace kept kicking on for 6 -10 min then off for 1-2 min then back on all night..We called the furnace guy to clean out burner but he said that was not it...so we changed our thermostat..and it continued to do it..this whole time for 2 seasons Im coughing up tons of mucus, everyday, using a nebulizer, and I was on Qvar, then the new inhailer called Airsupra..but nothing helped..I got Pneumonia in Dec. and Jan I got Bronchitis..Well I called the furnace guy back and had him take it apart..GUESS WHAT???? Our Heat Exchange Until,. the main part in any furnace, and multiple CRACKS in it, and it was releasing LOW LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE INTO OUR HOUSE EVERY TIME THE FURNACE WOULD KICK ON!!!!! Prolly for the past 2 seasons and thats why my breathing issue seemed to be seasonal! I am here all the time as I dont drive due to a vision issue...so in the winter Im inside 24/7 unless we go out which isent all that often..I was being POISONED and yes I had Carbon Monoxide detectors BUT they do NOT pic up low levels of Carbon Monoxide! I had them remove the furnace and we got another one it comes tomorrow! Ive been freezing for a wk now but its been worth it! Have your furnace checked and serviced every year!!!!
