Are there any health risks in using an old model window mounted air conditioner?

It was generously given to me by a women from work because she had central air installed last year, apparently the unit is over 20 years old. I realized after installing it 2 days ago that I did not open it and clean it. I’ve had a headache since early this morning and I’m wondering if this could be the culprit? I am hoping that I am just being paranoid and that this is not the case, cause it’s going to be HOT for the next little while.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

could be the problem … most likely is, give the airconditioner a good clean-up bleach/ water (1part bleach to 10 parts water) this will kill any bacteria that is in the unit. check the filters also, they could be filled with dust and pollen. usually a quick rince in the sink.

stay cool !!!
