Could Headache,confusion,shaking And Imbalance Be Caused By Exposure To Caprolactum?
I was exposed by high amounts of a chemical called Caprolactam, in an accident. And from the accident I have had headaches, confusion, shaking, and unbalanced! I went to a Dr . in the neurology field today and she said this chemical would be out of my body and I should be fine, the chemical isn t responsible for my health issues. Its a state of mind and need to see a therapist. Is this correct, cause I m not buying it

Hello,
As you have been in an accident exposing you to higher amounts of Caprolactam and you have been suffering from the confusion, headaches, tremors etc. after the exposure, the only explanation is poisoning from the chemical. If it was in your mind, you could have had it any other time than the time right after accident.
I advise you to visit a physician and go for urine test to determine the level of this chemical in your body. Treatment can be based on the test results. Have rest in fresh air and do not try to reduce or remove symptoms yourself as you may put yourself in more danger.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. I wish you feel better soon!
