Post Nasal Drip at HOME ONLY

I have looked all over the internet and I cannot find any answers. Lately I have been experiencing post nasal drip really bad at my home only. I was out and about all day, outside, around animals and nothing. However I was woken last night choking from it, and it's starting to happen again. ONLY WHEN I'M HOME. This apartment complex is pretty old, and this one in particular has had numerous pipe leaks.

I'm also directly above the parking structure. In the morning in the bathroom I can smell the fumes from the cars. I have only been here for about 2 months. Am I crazy at all? Is this just a concencidence? I have also been getting terrible migraines. I'm just starting to wonder if there is something in this apartment.

I know I do not have a sinus infection, I've been to the doctor about that, but it didn't dawn on me about this other stuff until today.

PLEASE someone respond. I never get any responses from people on here anymore!

Look into gett a good air purifier in the interim.   Eating healthy would be another suggestion, especially when exposed like you might be.

Luckily I am moving to a whole new area in my state soon, this apartment is getting foreclosed on, the people we rent from haven't been paying since 3 months BEFORE we moved in. So I yes, I'm getting out of here. My biggest concern was the longer I'm exposed to whatever toxins are in this house, the more I am worried about long term affects. Just be leaving windows open for air flow and such until I move.

If it's only at home, I would bet it's safe to say it's something you react to there.  If you can smell the fumes from the cars, that is BAD.   Personally I would move to a less toxic place.  Dunno what else to say, eliminate as many toxic products as you can.   I don't think you are crazy, very often it can be simple things around us that can cause these things.  Best to try to get rid of it, before it goes any further.
