Okay so there wasn’t a time this past year when I had even the mildest of cold or flu feelings that I didn’t almost freak out.
That had a lot to do with a pandemic that was keeping me inside the safety of my HVAC maintained home. There wasn’t a stray sneeze or a tickle in my throat that didn’t go unnoticed. Thankfully, I made it to the point where I could be vaccinated and worry a lot less. I’m just really thankful I found the source of the near constant sniffles I had prior to a pandemic breaking out. Otherwise, I know I would have freaked out. A couple of years ago, my wife finally made me go to the doctor after I had complained of respiratory symptoms for more than a month. It was by no means overwhelming but I just felt bad and was always fighting sinus issues or other related symptoms. I figured I’d just get a prescription and that would be the end of it. What I got instead was a suggestion to call the HVAC company. My doctor thought my problems stemmed from poor indoor air quality. And a ductwork cleaning might resolve the situation. I was a bit skeptical but I did exactly as my doctor advised. The HVAC professionals came out and did the ductwork cleaning followed by the ductwork sealing. It wasn’t but a day or two later that all of those ongoing symptoms just went away. Thankfully, this happened before the pandemic. Having cleaner indoor air also helped my immune response strengthen as well. And it was a good year to have a stronger immune system for sure.
