Related: About this forumQuestion About Central Air Conditioner Outside Compressor Units.....
It cooled off considerably last night and I shut down my A/C and opened my bedroom window to take advantage of the cool fresh air.
I woke up this a.m. feeling wobbly, disoriented and nauseated.
Later this afternoon I went outside to sit on my deck and breathe in fresh air and noticed my next-door neighbors A/C unit compressor (which is situated between our two houses) was running and then I maybe smelled a chemical odor in the air.
Putting that together with my bedroom window being open all night - I was wondering if an A/C Compressor unit can emit anything that could have been blown or sucked into my bedroom window while I was sleeping that could have caused the symptoms I am feeling.
Any helpful info would be appreciated.

(3,654 posts)You don't have a gas hot water heater? That could do it. Or if any of your plumbing traps are dried out you could get methane in from them. say a underused toilet, sink or tub-shower anywhere near you in your house. Also your window being opened may have allowed air to come up from your garage or basement, so a winter of chemical fumes? Last item is just to check off the list.

(25,922 posts)I forgot about my hot water heater and I do have a toilet in the basement. My garage is not attached and is far enough away from the house.
I also have a Carbon Monoxide detector and it didn't go off.
I'm headed down to the basement now.
