Having the heating on makes me feel unwell?

[jumblemumblet]

I've only just realised it's heating that does it!

My MIL's house is always very warm, she has the heating on constantly. My Nan does too

It seems to give me a runny nose? I can't really describe what I mean by that, but it's like things feel quite 'raw' in my nose if the heating is on?

I don't really know how to explain it

I had the heating on for the first time in this house today, baby not well, and my gosh my nose seems to suffer

Has anyone else had similar?

THAT SHOULD SAY FUNNY NOSE, not runny nose!

It doesn't give me a runny nose - it just feels sore and raw. I can't really describe it

I know exactly what you mean. I hate it too. Would rather snuggle under a blanket in a cold room than have the room itself warm. Somehow my fuel bill is still ridiculously high though!

What kind of heating systems? Many years ago my mum told me something about storage heaters making people feel the same as you have described and told me to place a bowl of water underneath those types of heaters. Something about them drying out the air?

Not heating, but air con makes me feel really unwell.

Maybe try a humidifier if possible.

Is it ducted air? That can make the air very dry.

I don’t like the ‘fakeness’ of heating. I prefer to exist in a cool, natural temperature and use blankets. Love a real fire though. My MIL wants the heating on in early and late summer and it just makes me feel dreadful.

Dry air. Maybe you need a humidifier like people suggested.

Also make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm.

High heat and air con make me feel unable to breath which makes shopping very uncomfortable. Medium heat is fine (where you wear jumpers midwinter) but the hot settings where people live in tshirts etc, no thanks

I don't find winter cool or natural, I find it bloody freezing!

I find it dries out my nose a lot, I use a humidifier at night and find it really helps.

A cool natural temperature round me can be -6. I don’t want to exist in that.

I get the dry nose, but l still like being warm with the heating on. Pop a bowl of water under the radiators. That will humidify the atmosphere.

Radiators hold a lot of dust. Turning them on can release the dust particles. You can get radiator brushes to clean them out, vacuum the dust debris too.

A window should be open a crack to allow air to circulate too. No good being boxed in with no fresh air. You won;t be losing much heat if a top window is left slightly open.

Sil has the house at 25 degrees. I feel hungover every time I'm there

but it's like things feel quite 'raw' in my nose if the heating is on?^

It's the dryness
