AC making bubbling noises -> immediately got violently sick ??
Hi all, I'm posting here because I just genuinely don't even know where to post for this type of situation and especially because the timing is so weird. For context I live in a condo owned by a family member, and this is my first time ever living on my own.
A few nights ago, I heard a bubbling/gurgling sound coming from what I think is the AC drain intake line in our condo (not 100% sure what it's called), while our AC was off. Shortly after, our AC had turned back on and! immediately got violently sick, like my sinuses felt liked they filled up with liquid and I had gotten real heavy feeling and was having a hard time breathing. The same night I ended up going to the ER for fainting out for some reason, but they had said that it was probably my body overcompensating for whatever sickness I had/have but every test they ran came back negative.
Since that night l've had some chest tightness, a sore throat and a lot coughing, which my boyfriend has also had the sore throat and alot of coughing. I do have asthma, but this chest tightness feels never ending even with using my inhaler but I haven't been around others and haven't been very physically active so it's genuinely outta nowhere for the chest tightness. I have a doctors appointment for tomorrow to get checked out for it but now I'm actually concerned because it doesn't seem to just be me feeling like this in the condo.
Just today, the same bubbling kinda sound started up again so I shut off the AC immediately instead of turning it up like we did from a couple nights ago. I opened up the AC closet and saw that there was liquid and slimy stuff and kinda rust on a part but my dad told me that it's just dirty and to leave it to dry, but since I’ve opened it up my ears have been itchy and feeling weird and I started coughing a lot more.
I'm genuinely so lost for what this could be, what to do and it seems whatever's up is either me and my boyfriend passing sickness back and forth to each other or somethings wrong with our AC.
What I'm tryna figure out is, could it be something with our AC? Like mold or bacteria? Or could this be like gas or fumes? Could we be passing sickness back and forth to each other? Has anyone else ever like had something like this happen before and figured out what caused it??
