Recent Allergy/Asthma Symptoms New Apartment

Hello,

I recently moved into an apartment (someone else has been living there for a few years with no apparent symptoms).  I noticed that the bedroom was very dusty, and I've tried my best to vacuum/steam clean and reduce the dust.  There are also roaches in the kitchen that come out at night that the complex is trying to get rid of.  

I started having cold like symptoms which I thought would go away, until I started having a persistent cough with mild congestion.  It was difficult to breathe and there was tightness in my chest.  I went to the doctor and was put on a nebulizer and diagnosed with allergies and acute bronchospasm.  I was prescribed Flonase, Claritin, and an Albuterol inhaler to use when needed.

The symptoms went away for a few days (it seemed like after the first roach treatment) but now they are back.  I noticed that they seemed to get better once they sprayed for roaches, but I also woke up with what seemed like dirt in my nostrils.  

I'm trying to do everything I can to avoid moving right out but I keep having to use my inhaler.  

Please let me know if you have any ideas on what could be done to fix this.

Thank you
