I used to think that poor ventilation caused stuffiness, but I feel like it’s definitely temperature related… Maybe event mental? If I sit in my car in the summer with the windows up, I almost immediately feel like I’m suffocating. However, I do the same exact thing in the winter, and I’m fine.

Heat an humidity definitely play a part. They can make a room more uncomfortable. But the real killer is carbon dioxide build up. In poorly ventilated rooms with a lot of people breathing, CO2 will collect. There is a strong correlation between CO2 levels and mental state/capacity. People tend to be more grumpy, think slower, and be less comfortable in spaces with a lot of CO2
