How Can I Find The Cause of My Symptoms?

Pollen and poor indoor air quality have similar symptoms, such as the irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. It can be hard to tell which issue is affecting you. Here are some easy ways to figure it out:

• Your symptoms are tied to you being indoors or outdoors. If your symptoms pick up when you go outside, the cause of your symptoms is most likely pollen. If your symptoms remain the same indoors and out, even after you shower and wash pollen from your clothing, it is likely you have an air quality issue.
• Your symptoms are worst when you wake up. If your symptoms are worst when you wake up in the morning, you might have poor indoor air quality. Whether it's from pet dander, dust, mold, or another cause of poor indoor air quality, a night inhaling it will increase your symptoms.
• Your symptoms are tied to a time of year. If your allergies begin or worsen at the same time every year, you most likely are sensitive to pollen. If your symptoms are consistent year round, you most likely have an air quality problem.

When Should I Call a Professional?

If you think you have poor indoor air quality, you should call in an air quality testing professional. They can confirm your findings by testing the air in your home. Then, depending on the cause of the poor air quality, they can help you come up with a solution to fix it. This could range from mold remediation services, if you have mold in your home, to pet dander removal if your furry friends are triggering your allergies.
