Detailed Answer:
Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
Yes all these are symptoms of natural gas poisoning.You said most of your symptoms have gone only headache n fatigue sluggishness are there so I will suggest you to check the oxygen saturation.Also if you can shift your house till things get settled it will be better.Your current symptoms can be managed symptomatically not a thing to worry. I will further advice you to consult with a respiratory medicine specialist as soon as possible.

I hope my answer was helpful for you .

It is not possible to shift house at this time. Is there an interim solution until I can get the gas company out to remedy the situation? Your other suggestions were extremely helpful and succinct. I will be sure to leave a recommendation to you after your nxt suggestion to this follow up question. Thk u so much.

My previous follow up question appears to have frozen. No time has shown lapsed since the time it was submitted. It continues to read,"Asked by Me, 0 minutes ago". It was actually asked about an hour or so ago.
