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
