Question : Why does my hayfever get worse when I come inside from being outside?
When I am inside with the windows shut my hayfever symptoms subside. However, when I come home, even though the windows are shut and have been while I haven’t been there, but for about the first half hour my hayfever symptoms get worse than they were when I was outside (and I mean A LOT worse!!). Why is this? It can’t be anything in the house, it happens every year and only during hayfever season and we don’t keep flowers in the house in hayfever season because they make me sneeze!

I too have hay fever, but I get it real bad during the fall season. Anymore I get the sneezes -on and off- in the house, but it will only last for a bit while in the house.
Pollen reaches into our homes also, so when we come in the house we are not out of the woods as though to speak. If I have the central air running, then my allergies do not bother me as much. When pollen can get into our homes, it just sits there and like waits for us (who are allergic) and can enter our sinuses just like outside.
I do take over-the-counter meds for this and it helps me out 100%. I would suggest turning on the air conditioning to see if that helps you. If your allergies are real bad, then I suggest trying something to stop those annoying allergies. Best of luck on this…
