Hi everyone so Im responding over a month later about this,
So, After i painted my room with y-shield i started feeling even worse , the only reason I could think that was the cause is that the paint is grounded to the electrical ground somwhere, and since the ground caries rf , that is probably reradiating that back to me from the paint.
Ok so after one month of delaying I got an electrician to come to my house to help me troubleshoot this problem.
We completely disconnected the ground cpnnection to all outlets from my room and to his and my surprise the paint was still grounded and had just asstrong a ground as before. He told me its possible that the ground could be coming from the wall because one of my walls is made of plaster ( I had no idea) because plaster contains minerals an stuff it can be conductive. Then when we were testing one of the outlets to check if it was grounded ( btw my house is grounded by flex cable not with a ground wire to each outlet)and the ground was disconnected from my room so there was supposed to be no ground from the metal case but the oulet tester showed that it was grounded! Now we knew that my entire plaster wall was grounded because the metal case was touching the plaster, we tested the plaster to see if indeed it was grounded an it was.
Even though the yshield paint isnt directly touching the plaster because of5-6 coats of paint underneath, Im guesiing its still grounded by it because the previews layers still have a little conductivity and the area is so large and its also probably touching directly in a few small areas.
The only solution he came up with was to take the paint off from that wall and repaint it with a paint called lastatamedic that is like a plastic so there would be no conductivity between the y shield and the plaster when i paint with y-shield over it.
Any other suggestions on how to Fix this problem will be appreciated.!
(btw hes the coolest guy I explained to him what Im doing and he was very interested and open minded about it. He also told me that he used to do surveys in my area for the electric company and that many people made complainsabout the power lines and cell towers making them feel bad here.
Sorry is some parts may sound confusing or dont make sense Im kinda tired and sick.
