Q: Air conditioning causing breathlessness symptoms ?
asked by:

Hi All,
I work in an air-conditioned office and find that my chest feels constricted causing breathlessness and my throat is dry and swollen. I've had the symptoms for months now.
Could this be the drying effect of the AC or could I be reacting to allergens in the system? Would using a humidifier in the office alleviate the symptoms? Cab I ask my employer to check the system?
Any advice or similar welcome.
Thank you
