about five or six years ago i was hanging at a friend's house. We were pretty young and we were playing with a bouncy ball that broke a fluorescent light bulb. It was still plugged in and we saw the gas leak out but weren't sure what it was (the windows were open and the door was too because it was summer, but we didn't evacuate the house right away till an hour later when her mom came in) i now know it was mercury ... are there any dangers i should worry about? like long term effects? short term effects? what can it do to me? i suffered no problems after that incident that i know of.
but over the last 2 or 3 years i have had these weird things going on i don't know if im over reacting. I have started to have what i think are heart palpitations ( where my heart out of no where starts to beat really fast and i lose my breath and it hurts .. but it only does this for about 5 seconds then goes away for about a month) i also get these random pains in my body where it feels like i can feel the beat of my heart in random spots but it hurts like someone is poking me really hard with a pencil. could this possibly be an effect from mercury, if not, any ideas what is it?
