Pipe Inspector exposed to HCI during a inspection.
I was exposed to (HCI)Anhydrous Hydrogen Chlorine when a pipe released near my face in Sept 2018. My question has anyone had any similar exposures and what did/treatment was used and the tests to determine correct clinical diagnosis.
I was in 2019 diagnosed with COPD mod/severe and severe COPD in 2023.The steroids that were prescribed Combivent Respimat then later Spiriva Respimat and Ventolin as a rescue inhaler. These did not help and in 2022 I stop taking them. I have since only had a handful of attacks, that can be controlled with oxygen at 2L and Vit D.
Dr.Niels Koenke has recently determined after the improvement in my lung PFT testing (DLCO 52% in 2021 to 80% in 2024) that I likely have RADS or Occupational Asthma that makes more sense to me than COPD. He says he needs to do more testing but has not explain exactly what tests yet.
Has anyone else had a similar exposure? TEST'S USED.
Also did they experience daily migraine headaches?
This has been a extremely frustrating situation that just seems to drag on.
Any help would be appreciated.
