Hi
I've lived in my rented Barratt built flat for 8 years now and I used to think there was a problem with the water as my skin was always very dry and irritated after washing. By chance I slept in one of the other bedrooms in the flat and discovered no problem washing the next morning. This had become a serious problem for me and I was always going to the gym to wash rather than doing it in the flat.
So I've now figured that the air con - which is a Baxi WH system - is faulty. The one in the other bedroom I slept in blows air out but mine seems to suck air in. Sometimes I wake up at night struggling to breathe. I also feel very lethargic and get lots of bloating (I have a large fibroid tumour in my abdomen). The symptoms all disappear when I switch the unit off.
As far as I know there is just a central switch for the unit and I can't leave the whole thing off for too long as the bathroom starts getting really damp.
So what I need help with: (have no idea how this works)
Is this thing dangerous to my health? I almost feel it caused my tumour!
Can I get it fixed? IF so how much is it likely to cost?
Can I turn it on and off all the time or is this not a good idea?
Can I just turn my vent off or block it somehow?
I'm just renting a room at this place and I need to know the thing is fixable before going to my landlord as he could just say it's all in my head.
Thank you. hope someone can help.
