Does Inhaling Sewer Gases Cause Lung Problems For An Asthmatic?
Can smelling sewer gases over a period of time, maybe a year at least can this cause lung problems with someone who already has had asthma all her life and uses an inhaler? I was put in hospital in December with my oxygen level at 62 low. Doctors could never decide what caused this problem. They are now saying it had to be pneumonia but they are not sure. I never thought about the gases at my home. They sent me home on oxygen. Taking a long time to get my strength back.
