Patton Space Heaters

I have a small heater to Patton electricity I use at my desk at work. It blows air. I noticed that when I turn it a few minutes --- I feel dizzy. It is not that hot. I wonder if there is something toxic about the heating coils?

This is not my sinuses and I'm healthy.

Thank you.

Try another brand of heater. It could be a myriad of materials within your existing furnace. Are they made in China? If the casing is plastic, the heat could be emitting toxic fumes from the plastic. The heater is usually nicrome wire, but it may be another metal in which is toxic to your system. Go to the thrift store or garage sale and see what other heaters you can get to use as a replacement. If you have a colleague who has a radiator to ask them if they know the effects of their own.
