We meet again. I have similar experiences to you.
On a low pollen, low pollution day or time, if I go outside my blood pressure takes a nose dive. In fact, my blood pressure is much lower away from my home, except on bad days in which the pollen and/or pollution levels are high, in which case my heart beat also goes nuts.
At work, at the doctor's office, when shopping, when going for a ride, I always feel better than I do at home. My blood pressure is ALWAYS lower outside or away from my place.
That is why I started removing wooden wall cabinets and wooden standing cabinets that had an odor. I removed all wall to wall carpetting long ago, and all uphostered furniture. My wife limits the use of cleaners.
It seems like the biggest breakthrough for me recently, was the removal of the wooden cabinets and getting rid of the fabric softeners and detergents. What is confusing is why I did so much better outside my home, although I was still exposed at that time to the fabric softeners, of which I was wearing at that time!? I attributed most of my problems to my home, because when I left my home I felt better. But, when I left my home my system was still being attacked by other irritants. But, I felt better. Confusing!
Hmmmm!? Have you considered that you might have a sewer leak in your place? If the toilet bottom is not seated properly, which is a problem in many dwellings, or if the sewer exhausts are not vented properly, you might be getting somewhat odorless, and harmful gasses in your place.
