Could poor ductwork cause my cough and runny nose?

It's entirely possible that your symptoms could be linked to the condition of your air ducts. In dubai and uae, we frequently experience dusty conditions due to sandstorms, which can easily find their way into our HVAC systems if they're not properly maintained.

Dusty and dirty air ducts can indeed lead to respiratory issues like coughing and a runny nose, especially when the air conditioning is on full blast. The bedroom near your HVAC unit might be hit hardest because it’s likely drawing in more of that contaminated air.

Signs you should look out for indicate whether your ductwork needs professional cleaning:

1. Persistent Respiratory Issues: If you or anyone in your household experiences ongoing coughing, sneezing, a runny nose, or even wheezing when the AC is running.
2. Musty Odors: A lingering smell that lingers after using the air conditioning can be an indicator of mold growth within the ducts.
3. Discoloration: Dark spots on your ductwork could indicate dust, debris, or mold accumulation.
4. High Allergy Symptoms: Increased allergic reactions like itchy eyes, rashes, or breathing difficulties could be linked to poor air quality from unclean ducts.

In the uae, we have specific regulations for indoor environmental quality that require regular maintenance of HVAC systems to ensure they meet certain standards. Given your symptoms and the recent dust storm, a professional inspection is highly recommended.
