Allergies when working in an airconditioned office

[Taheera2016]

Dear all, I have always been very sensitive to cold air, but my dilemma started 4 years back when I started working full time in an office. Since I didn't know what was happening to me doctors prescribed me all sorts of medications and treatments till at the end I figured that I can't tolerate AC air. I am ok with it off and on at home but  not when it is freezing cold which it is in office buildings in the country I live in.

I had to quit my previous job for this reason and I took a year off to recover.
Now I have received a great job opportunity which I couldn't turn down, and since working in the office I am back to feeling the same way again. Stuffed nose, dizziness, clocked ears, headache and general heavy feeling in my face and tingling in my body.

Since it is just my first week I didn't want to ask to be moved so I have thought of dealing with it in the meantime. I will be working out of the office quiet a lot which is a blessing and I have the option to go out for fresh air whenever necessary.

I am not sure if this would work, but I have heard that people use under desk heaters. Since the only time I feel ok is only when the AC is off however, I thought I would give it a try to see if warmer air might make me feel better.

Also I have started taking Antihistamines which relieves my symptoms but I am unsure about the long term use.

I must add that my condition happens only in office environments and I don't have an issue in malls or restaurants.

I would highly appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on the above as most people don't understand what I am going though.

Thank you very much!
