Hi!
Thanks for posting your query on HCM.
Sorry to know that you had a lot of illnesses in your past.

I went through the problems you have described in your query. It seems to me that you developed features suggestive of poisoning apparently caused by lead in the oil base paint sprays.

First of all, I would advise you to prevent further exposure to these paint sprays by taking extreme precautions or by opting to change your job.

Then visit a hospital dealing with management of poisoning (toxicology).
You need to be properly examined by the specialists then certain lab tests like CBC, urine analysis, kidney function tests, screening of the toxic substance lead in the blood, etc.

You may be given some specific antidote like Calcium disodium edetate followed by Dimercaprol if the diagnosis of chronic lead poisoning is confirmed.
Hope this answers your query.

Wishing you best of your health.
Take care.
