Dizziness after using Propane Blow Torch

[George Ward]

It just sounds to farthetched to me to be true

What does? Me and my dizziness!? It is true. Although I'm worried now that I'm imagining it.

Have you checked for leaks with soapy water

( Washed off after as it corrodes and don't wet the ignition
and before anyone jumps down my throat, a DIY person may not have LDF and it's pointless buying it for this purpose).

Most plumbers ( I think) use propane in all sorts of spaces and I can't say I've ever felt dizzy or heard of it before.

I've had times where I sat on my blowtorch for good minute untill realising there is a bad smell which isnt my arse, I didnt feel dizzy but felt this tingling in my behind as I knew what would have happened if it sparked.

Mistakeny inhaled CO from one of those burns till it goes out candle experiments im my youth ... Does sound like Carbon Monoxide
(If a CO alarm will confirm it --or alarm just die from meat fumes --- I'm not sure if you should invest )
Like others have said plenty of ventilation
(and get your blood presure checked out )

(Plenty of unburnt Butane from gas soldering iron has never bothered me-My M8s may disagree)
(USA packaging meat in CO to keep it looking RED -Idiots)..Don't Inhale..

( Smell of searing induces hunger/Blood lost to stomach = Light headed )

If anyone is still interested , did have a negative thought .
(Multiple -Devices )
Is it a modern well insulated/double glazed (sealed) house ?
... Are you already in the kitchen with the stove on ?
May have exceded ventilation capacity .
(I'm not GSR , so don't know calculations )
But do remember a stove + a new extension is a good reason to have the window open a little with just stove on MAXED out.
