nausea after moving into different house?

[OS]

I recently moved to a different house with 3 other roommates and in the week or two after moving in here, i get a dull headache from just sitting around. This has never happened before anywhere else i've lived, it took me several days to realize i was getting a headache just sitting here. Anyone else ever have a similar problem and what was the cause?

This house seems fairly old, i'd say between 20-30 yrs. Some considerations i had may be the indoor air might be poor from building material, mold or something. Another thing is there is a power line literally a foot outside the room and it runs parallel to the entire side of the house. I didn't notice this until after i moved in.

maybe there is mold in the air

Make sure you don't have any gas leaks.

I'm thinking mold too.

alright just now through my casual digging, apparently there is a name for this sort of thing, it's called sick building syndrome.

also there mold test kits but no i have to read through all this stuff to find out how/which ones are effective and how to go about this.

fortunately my lease is month to month, if this ends up being unbearable/unresolvable i can leave.

On the down side, my next door roomie is a cute girl.

That was my first thought as well.
