I realized a little while ago that my gas stove has been on without a flame for what could have been as much as an hour. I live in a small studio apartment and the whole place smelled like gas. I turned it off, opened the windows, turned on my ac/air purifier, and got out, but I feel dizzy and my ear is ringing (I always have tinnitus but it’s much louder than normal). I have left the apartment and gone outside for fresh air. I’ve been breathing fresh air for about 20 minutes now. What else should I do? Am I in danger of carbon monoxide poisoning?
Update: I did call the fire department. I’m waiting on them now. There was no smell when I re-entered the apartment and my light headedness seems to have dissipated.
Update 2: fire department seemed to think it was a waste of time but I guess better safe than sorry. Seems odd that it was so hard to get a consensus on this and that even when I thought I did (call 911), it sorta turned out to be nothing. Hope I didn’t waste resources with this but glad I took it seriously at least. Thanks for anyone who gave advice.
