Hello,
You live in a mouldy damp flat and presently you are experiencing symptoms like headache, itchy feet with lumps on them, sweaty, your breath smells bad, skin color around your mouth is odd. You are experiencing the symptoms of exposure to mould. You are suggested to get that flat where you are living thoroughly cleaned by professional cleaners.
If that is not possible you are suggested to leave that flat and shift to a new place. Headache and body ache, pain in the legs, arms and the belly are symptoms of mold toxicity. Pain in the muscles, legs and pain occur due to mycotoxins produced by the molds, they resemble symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.
You will be given symptomatic treatment; for pain NSAIDs, for allergy symptoms, antihistamine; nasal corticosteroids, nasal rinse, etc., if you are developing sinus problems or sinus headache. Allergy shots are given if required. You are suggested to get the leaks repaired, dehumidifier to keep humidity low, the area where you are living should be cleaned and well ventilated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
