Ozono

I'm sorry but my native language is Spanish and I will use Google Translate
I just joined the page and there are words that I don't understand and I don't know if my comment is appropriate.

I have pneumonitis due to hypersensitivity to ozone as a result of my work in extinction and restoration of areas burned by forest fires aggravated by living in the area with the most ozone pollution. I have been to many doctors but they ignore the problem and have no means of diagnosing it.They tell me that I can live in such a polluted city without problems. Last year they prescribed me a corticosteroid inhaler and I got better, although I had crises with episodes of high pollution. This year I have also resorted to acupuncture and got into the habit of doing deep abdominal breathing.
I would like to obtain a diagnosis and appropriate medical treatment for my illness.
Thank you very much.

  1. I completely understand the desire to get an official diagnosis and start to get going on your wellness journey. It's a totally natural thing to want! Unfortunately, as we are based here in the US, it is a little difficult to say what options you may have in your country, but I will tell you what I'd do if you were here and hopefully that will help. In the case that you are here in the USA, then this will help for sure. First off, you should find someone who specializes in COPD, usually a doctor of the lungs, and then explain to them that you have seen several other doctors and you are not getting as much relief as you need. I am glad you have found some of the things that help to give you some relief, though. If there is anything else we can do to help, please let us know. DPM
