The Global Times has an interesting article about people who frequently use air conditioners suffering from fatigue and cold-like symptoms. With the hot summer we're experiencing in New York it may seem ridiculous to recommend a judicious use of air conditioning but doing so may help you avoid respiratory problems including sinus infection.Air conditioners artificially change the temperature and doing so has an effect on the body. Going from the hot outdoors into a cool air conditioned building may confuse your body's regulatory systems and leave you vulnerable. In addition, air conditioners can dehumidify and create conditions perfect for a sinus infection. If you're experiencing cold-like symptoms or sinusitis and are frequently moving between air conditioned and non-air conditioned environments in this heat, contact our office to pursue your treatment options.
