Ever since we rented this loft I have been having chronic sinus headaches.
The headaches are worse at evening and they slowly dissipate during the day. That is because I am not at beach home during the day… I have tried everything I could believe of in order to get rid of the sinus headaches. I have used humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and media air cleaners, however not all at the same time, of course. I have also had our rugs professionally cleaned and I have wiped down all of the walls myself. I have even cleaned the curtains. Nothing has helped; However, I have noticed that our headaches are worse when the furnace or are on. If it is a nice day I just leave the windows open and the ceiling fan on, but on those afternoons, I do not have any allergy symptoms at all. That is why I am starting to believe that it is the Heating, Ventilation and A/C method in the building that is causing our dust sensitivities. The whole loft shares a single Heating, Ventilation and A/C system. It is equipped with zone control so that we all have our own control units. This seemed ok. I mean, I can’t decide if the heat or is on however I can turn them off for our apartment. However, I fear that there is dust and allergens floating around from a single loft to the next through the air duct. I am going to talk to the building manager and see if they can do a air duct cleaning. If that doesn’t service our dust sensitivities I don’t suppose what else to do. I might have to cut our lease and find another place to live as soon as I can afford to do so.
