Headache, dizziness, liver and kidney not functioning since I shifted to new apartment. Is it chemical poisoning?

Resolved Question:

Hello,i would like to know your opinion if my health issues were/are toxic chemicals or not. One day i have moved in to apartment with the owner, the next day's morning after shower I began to feel dizzy and by the day passing by my dizziness was getting worse, i couldn't move because all the world was spinning in my head. Next week dizziness was getting a lot better, and then i came back to my parents house. Was working all day by the car, grinding paints and coating with a new layer of primer with no protection other my breathing area. In the evening i started to feel a little bit dizzy, in the morning when i woke up and couldn't realize where ground is and where is ceiling. After that a was put into a hospital, been there for a week, had done lost of medical test, such as MRI of my head, tick-borne encephalitis, Lyme and etc. All were negative. After a month, i went back to my apartment to move out ,in a few days there my dizziness got worse and i found that the owner of the apartment had the same problem with dizziness. So i felt dizzy for about 2,5 months getting better but very very slow and was waiting for vestibular syndrome test. So i thought in the time i could go to homeopath and make a test by Reinhold Folio method. Doctor said that i have problems with my liver and one of my kidneys, didn't say what is wrong with them or why, gave me homeopathic medicines which i think was to detoxify my body, and said that the dizziness will go away in one or two weeks. In the first day of the course i woke up with a sharp pain in my back over kidneys area, after few more days my belly button painted pink and was releasing kind of secretions. After a week, first day of Christmas, i woke up with no dizziness and i didn't felt it anymore. After few months i made tests of my hormones levels, find out that my thyroid has a low function which could be a cause of chemical poisoning. What do you think? Could it all be chemical poisoning?

Hello, Thank you for asking your query at DoctorSpring.

From your symtoms its most likely you are suffering from chemical poisoning. Chemical poisoning occurs from pesticides or heavy metals like lead, zinc.

The chemical has dissolved in blood, reaching tissues an dorgans and damaging them. It has turned your blood viscid causing decreased blood flow therefore causing dizziness and exarcerbating the damage already cased to organs. Your body has got toxic amounts of the chemical, bringing in a lot of complications to liver, kidney and eventually will effect your heart also. Yes, it has well effected your thyroid as well, causing decreased production of thyroid hormones.

As a first step of management, if its present only when you go to apartment, then I suggest you change your home. As staying away from the place that caused you the problem will be more helpful for the symptoms to vanish and effect on th eotgans to subside. Secondly its needed you take a blood test for the amount of heavy metals ,by this you can know which is increasedly present and if toxicity is too much. Use the appropriate chelating agent for it.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to ask follow-up questions
