constant fatigue and sinus pressure only at work

[rsn42]

I just took a new job and ever since I started I have been experiencing extreme fatigue, some mild flu-like symptoms, and sinus pressure. I've only been here for a little over 1 week and I can hardly function. I do think some of the symptoms were flu-related, however over the weekend I was feeling much better with plenty of energy. Now that I'm back in the office the fatigue is almost overwhelming. I've never experienced anything like this before and am wondering if it could be an allergic reaction to something in the building?

Hey, I know it's been a while but did you ever find a solution to this problem? I've been having the same problem for years. I've been on allergy shots and had sinus surgery recently. Nothing has worked. I've seen so many doctors it's ridiculous. For me, it happens at work and even in other large buildings which makes me think it maybe the pressure from large air conditioners or maybe mold.

Hi,

What work are you doing currently? Is there exposure to dust , smoke , fumes or air conditioner here?

What change have you noticed from your previous workplace?

This could be due to allergic reaction to some unknown substance.

Have you ahd allergic reactions in the past? Are you allergic to any specific substances?

You could try some steam inhalation, saline nasal drops, oral antihistamine medications for your symptoms and see if it helps.

If your symptoms still persist, it would be advisable to consult your doctor.

Let us know about how you are doing and if you have any other doubts.

Regards.
