Hi all, I live in Florida and I recently moved into a new house.  it's
a 1989 home that was recently remodeled.  Anyway, it has a Trane A/C.
we put it at 72 degrees to sleep and although the temperature is fine
for my body, the cold air seems to be bothering my throat. i'm losing
my voice. i don't know what to do. if we put it any warmer than 72
degrees at night, it's TOO HOT and we can't sleep but at 72, the air i
breathe is bothering my throat. this did not happen to me in our other
home. we put it also at 72, lived there for 10 years, no problem. now
the temperature is fine, but the actual air i breathe is killing me.
i've been like this for 6 months.  i think the air is just too dry or
something, i don't know. i considered a humidifier but the house has
wood floors and i'm scared the humidifier will ruin them. any ideas on
how to fix this problem??

Just curious... What is the outside temperature, say at bedtime?

How about using a fan to make it feel cooler for sleeping,  instead of the
air conditioning for a week or two, to see if your throat/voice improves? Do
steam inhalations ease the problem? Are you hydrated enough? Do you smoke?
Does your job, workplace environment or other lifestyle factors put a stress
on your throat? Can a flooring contractor advise on safe humidity levels?
Has a physician examined you? Has the manufacturer of the air conditioner
got any advice?
