Polution or Pollen Related???

Recommended Posts

Question to follow:

 

***************

Occurrance #1:

 

Symptoms: Blocked sinuses, sinus headache, etc but NO tight throat (symptomatic of histamine (allergen / pollen) yes???). Sneezed a ball of GRAY goo / mucous -- not green.

 

Location: Chaing Mai (higher elevation and abundance of plants)

 

Date: mid - December

 

misc details: Happened during 3rd day of trip. Since Chaing Mai less populated, figured was pollen (but no sore throat). I am NOT a smoker. NO such problems in native country, and nothing similar happened elsewhere. Discomfort level, relatively mild. Am 42 yo, very obese.

 

***************

Ocurrance #2:

 

Location: BKK

 

Symptoms: Identical to CM, but no ball of goo. Also, NO sore throat! Hmmm? For the next two weeks, had a an on-going MILD runny nose, but still NO sore throat (again, lack of histamine???).

 

Date: late Feb/early March

 

misc details: OTC sinus medication giving minimal, if any benefit. Discomfort level, relatively mild.

***************

 

Question:

 

I am wondering if it may be pollen related, or if maybe I am showing early signs of a progressive pollution - related breathing problem. I've been in BKK just over 6 months.

 

Any opinions guys? Does this sound like I may be developing pollution - related breathing problems?
