I am 21 year old female who is studying abroad in Spain. I have been here for a little over two months. I usually have breathing difficulties. Not only am I a smoker but I have always been susceptible to bronchitis and sinus infections. I am not over weight, I have of average weight for my height. Lately my breathing problems have been more severe. I find myself almost gasping for air/ taking very deep breathes in order to get enough air. Also I have been yawning to try and get more air. I am a bit concerned about this. I have also developed new symptoms that mostly come at night while I am in my room.
Chest pressure sometimes pain
Shortness of breath
Congested nose but no mucus
Dry mouth and constant thirst
Head ache
Sore neck and back
Fatigue
Muscle fatigue
Dry skin
Stiff joints
Swollen glands near my jaw/neck
Excessive yawning
should I be concerned about this?

But if you suspect house mold has anything to do with it and you are still living where there may be mold, I hope you can take a positive step for yourself pronto by finding a healthier place to stay while you are abroad that doesn't look like any mold lives there and doesn't smell musty!
