Yes: If there is a mold problem or something else abundantly available in the house, it could certainly cause symptoms of illness, especially URI or allergy. The best way to confirm this is to get out of the house for a few days if possible and see if the symptoms abate.

Sick Building: There is an entity called sick building syndrome. This usually where there is poor ventilation. You may, however, have some allergy to something in your house that is causing the problem. You might consider seeing an allergist.
