Default Builders Hands on about Epoxy & Ventilation

Last night, I was doing some building and used some epoxy for at tops 5 minutes in my room. When i came in my room to put pn my PJ's, I smelt the epoxy and turned the fan on high for ventilation. I didn't think anything of it this morning. I felt fine for a while, and couldn't tell a difference. Well, my mother came home and was sitting in the driveway in the car, and as i do daily when she comes home i went out to meet her. On the way out to the garage, I got dizzy, blacked out and ended up falling on a box fan. The box fan didn't hurt me, luckily and luckily i fell towards it, mainly because if i fell the other way it would have been wood, and front or back would've been concrete.

I woke up after about 15 seconds and didn't remember a thing. My mother then came inside and told me what i did, and a little memory started to come back. I went to the doc, and though he said i wasn't getting enough salt intake, i think it because of EPOXY. 30 minute doesn't effect me, but 5 minute always does. This could have been much worse. I go in tommrow to make sure it was just salt and get a EKG, i believe it is called, done.

Just be safe with epoxy and use plenty of ventilation. This could have been much worse, but thankfully it wasn't.
