Medical What Kind of Gas Could Be Leaking in My Bedroom?

[Frenemy90210]

A few months ago there used to be some kind of gas leakage in the bedroom. Gas was almost odourless. I could detect the presence of gas only by aftereffects. They were :

1: I used to feel very sleepy. ( as if it was some anasthetic gas or chloroform)
2. Sometimes it used to feel like a breath of fresh oxygen-rich air while breathing.
3. It used to give bad scary dreams most of the times (some times erotic dreams)
4. Most of the time it gave me ulcer in the mouth (inside of the right cheek.) Cheeks inside used to swell up a little bit.
5. Many times it used to give me body aches in the morning after waking up. Feeling very drowsy after waking up. (was very difficult to get out of bed.)
5. I suspect it used to amplify any already existing pain.

Are there any guesses as to which gas that could be ? and what could be antidote ? Thanks.

Sounds like it could be related to CO poisoning, but that would be a speculative guess, and we are not able to offer medical advice or diagnoses here. Please talk to your doctor about this. Also, depending on where you live, your local firefighters may have test kits to sample your home's air to figure out if CO or other problem gasses exist. Maybe give them a call (on their non-emergency phone number) to ask if they have that capability. I know my local firefighters do have that capability.

Also, you can buy a CO detector at any hardware store.
