Emma - you know the only advice we can give you is to get a carbon monoxide tester and ask your parents to get the boiler serviced.

If they won't do either of these things then I am not sure what you can do to be honest.

You have had these worries for a long long time now and nothing bad has ever happened has it?

You can call 0800 111 999 National Gas Emergency Service, they will advise you.

Yeah that can happen with those type of boilers.

I doubt it could have harmed you Em. It's more likely the stress of the situation and the anxiety has caused the sore head. I have a gas cooker and the oven keeps going out but the gas keeps flowing. I don't realise until the place stinks of gas. Never done me any harm.

Try to relax as i'm sure you're just fine.
