Sounds like allergy: If your symptoms occur only or mostly when you visit your hometown, you are most likely suffering from allergies related to local conditions (pollens, dust, mold). If it is worse when you are in a particular place (your old house, for example), it could be mold.

See an allergist for treatment.
