I went to sleep in my camper about 8pm. Woke up about 2am choking, nauseated dizzy and a horrible smell of ammonia. Turned out my fridge was leaking ammonia I suffered severe burn on my chest, was dizzy and nauseated for about 5 hours. Ended up in the emergency room and was told my blood pressure dropped 30 points from laying to standing position and low heart rate because the blood was not getting to my brain. Suggested I go to a cardiologist tomorrow. I have found a lot on fires caused from this but not much about the physical damages caused by this. The burn on my chest is terrible and hurts really bad. I want to sleep all the time and I have like pulses of a headache. Not constant just sudden small jolts of pain. Does anyone know of any forums where this problem is discussed. I know ammonia is toxic and can cause permanent lung, heart and brain damage. I cannot believe Dometic would make such a dangerous refrigerator and that Keystone would use them in their campers. If I hadn't woke up and made it out of the camper I would have probably died. Thanks
