I renovated an apartment in a 90 year old, 3 family wood frame house that I recently purchased. The reno came out beautifully, but I have found that my asthma, which is environmentally set off, has been pretty bad and chronic since I’ve moved in. In the past I have gone years without an asthma attack and now they are daily. The house has been professionally cleaned since reno. When my girlfriend, who has no asthma or allergies, sleeps over, she has been getting a stuffy and runny nose. This all seems isolated to my bedroom. I have hypo allergenic pillows, sheets, no rugs etc. and have been vacuuming.

I’m wondering if there is some kind of air quality specialist etc. who could analyze what’s going on in my apartment. I’ve googled a bit but haven’t found anything. Any help or recommendations would be appreciated.
