Bad Air in my room !! To much humidity !
Posted: 06-16-05 15:17pm

Hi everyone, I would be grateful for any help here. I live in a very old victorian aged house, and my room happens to be on the third/top floor. Summers are very hot and humid, winters incredibly cold (i live in the uk).
The problem - the room tends to be abnormally humid, and I believe the air quality is bad, because I seem to be prone to illnesses, like colds, coughs. I sometimes feel like i've got an all year cold. When I wake in the morning, i'm usually always congested, and need to blow my nose a few times and i'll be fine once I leave the house. I also tend to get lots of spots (i'm 24, and past pubity before any of you ask!). At times, i'll come into my room straight from a shower, and within 5 minutes i'll feel grimey, and clamy again. I'll go to sleep and wake up with my face feeling oily.
I believe the problem to be the room because I moved out for 3 years and hardly ever got colds or coughs, then as soon as I move back, i'm always getting ill.
Now, i've seen a few possible remedies. Firstly i'm gonna get some more plants to help with air quality. But what I really need help with is whether to buy an air puriifier, or a dehumidifier. Can't afford both cos they're so damn expensive.
Any opinions on what could be the problem would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks
