    Sinus headaches
    Ive been getting headaches and having sinus issues lately. My dr says allergies but I have a hard time accepting that because Im in my 30s and never had this issue before. I purchased a house cheap about 6 yrs ago that needs a lot of work, more than I realized. After moving in I was overwhelmed with a bat problem in my attic. I have paid out a lot of money many times hiring people to get rid of the bats but they come back. Once in a while one will find its way in the living area and within minutes my cat kills it. A couple months ago my cat started to get bad respirtory problems and died. My doctor told me what happened to my cat and my issues is not caused from the bats. Today I went for an eye exam and the eye doctor told me I have scars on my right eye caused from fungus from bird or bat droppings. Of course Im freaking out and thinking about walking away and giving it to the bank. Im not saying anything bad about my doctor, I just I have been going to my dr regularly lately for headaches and sinus issues Ive suddenly have.

    Allergies can crop up any time in your life. You don't have to have had them from childhood. With that said, maybe you should ask your doctor about histoplasmosis.

    Getting rid of the bats is one step, but you have to get rid of the guano as well.

    Just because you are in your 30's and never had these problems before doesn't mean it is not allergies. I think I'd be looking for a second opinion from another doctor or specialist since your primary doctor doesn't seem to be coming up with any solutions. Even your eye dr said the bat issue is a problem and it is fungal. Changes in living conditions, climate and other factors can and will onset allergies.
