I have had problems for 40 years reacting to chemicals, mold, etc. Over the last 15 years I started to have a lot of problems with burning leaves, wood fires--developing chest pain and sometimes breathing problems. Nov. 2020--I was exposed to burning and mold in the same week. After 4 days of coughing, chest pain, extreme fatigue and hardly able to eat I ended up in the hospital in critical care for 45 min. with a heart rate of 250-287.To shorten the story-next day I was found to have serious wheezing, and fluid around the heart and pleura effusion around both lungs. In Jan. and Feb fluid was drained and found to have high levels of allergic cells. After lung bio-March-- it was found I had Bronchiolitis obliterans. I am losing faith in help and knowing what else I can do. My pulmonary Dr. just moved away. Does anyone specialize in this disease? I have been avoiding chemicals in my home for 32 years, but I can hardly go outside these days.
