Can Air conditioners Cause Sinus Problems?
To find out if your air conditioner is really making you sick, take a look at the different ways AC can cause sinus problems:
Too Much Cold Air
You may have asked yourself: Can you get sick from a cold? The short answer is "YES" !!! Of course, we all have probably seen this, when you go out on cold weather, you experience how coldness can does to your body. A very cold room can cause a stuffy nose, as can after being outside for some time in a warm place. When the air in your house is too cold, the wind stimulates the lining of the nasal passages to produce more mucus due to the sudden cold air. Excessive drainage and excess mucus can cause congestion, hence there is definitely a direct connection between dirty air conditioning units and sinus problems.
Irregular AC Maintenance
Mold, dust and pollen around your home can be harmful to your health, including your sinuses. If the AC unit is not maintained regularly and properly, mold and dust will begin to build up in the ducts, filters and rollers of the AC unit. All of these bacteria are blown into your house and cause allergies, sinus infections, and stuffy noses in your throat.
Dirty Air Circulation
If you have a dirty air filter, mold or bacteria around your home, it could be the cause of sinus problems. Usually, when the air in your house is recirculated, the air that is blown into the home through the ducts is drawn into a filter, where the air is filtered, cooled, and delivered directly to your home. . . If all these pollutants are recycled, your air conditioner can make you sick and worsen your sinus conditions.
