sensitive to cold air conditioner

I am acutely sensitive to cold air conditioner. The effects are immediate and the colder the air the worse things are. This is followed by a thumping headache and painful soreness in the eyes and nostrils. Further exposure can result in heavy nasal congestion and pain spreading all around my eyes, jaws , teeth, And headache. The problem started  after my open heart surgery for an aorotic valve replacement, and I am on coumadin therapy for life time.  With my primary Dr. we did a lot of  kind lab tests included TSH and they all come normal.  I am a nurse working in the hospital. I wear a lots of clothing . If a go to the grocery store , I run along the aisles becuase I don't want to get sick . I stopped going to restaurants. Can you offer any help as to what it might be, what has caused it and what can be done? I so desperate, please help. Thank you

Consult with a  dentist to make sure you do not have leaky Amalgam. Since there is mercury in it . If mercury is in your system you can have all the symptoms you described.

I've had this problem for about 10 years and have found no help from medical establishment. There is no any operation and all for this. I also use a nasal spray, called Otrivine Menthol Nasal Spray. It works in few minutes and lasts up-to 12 hours. you can try it.

I would like to know makeup of the tablets you are taking so I might match here.   Thanks for the information.   Very few people have anything positive to at least try.
Thank you, and good luck
