General guidance, not medical advice
These symptoms are commonly associated with damp or moldy indoor environments, according to CDC and EPA guidance. This tool cannot diagnose anything. For health questions, see a healthcare professional. On the home side, the lasting fix is finding and removing the moisture and the mold.

About you or your household

Do symptoms ease when you leave the home for a day or more?
Talk to a doctor about symptoms.
For the remediation side, find a licensed local proWhat damp indoor air can and cannot tell you
The CDC and the EPA both associate damp indoor environments with symptoms like nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, throat and eye irritation, and worsening asthma symptoms in people who already have asthma. Sensitivity varies widely, which is why the same house can bother one member of a household and leave another feeling fine.
No checklist can tell you whether mold caused anything, and this one does not try. What it can do is help you notice a pattern worth raising with a healthcare professional, especially when symptoms line up with time spent in a damp room or ease when you are away from home.
Whatever your result, the home side of the fix stays the same: find the moisture, dry it out, and remove the mold. Cleaning visible growth without fixing the moisture usually means it comes back. Our guides on mold exposure symptoms and black mold cover both sides in plain language.
