Well if it were me. I'd be looking at doing something with that first, Dehumidifiers, anti mould paint, sealers etc all are just masking the problem IMHO, you need to stop the wet getting in, once its in your then just constantly dealing with a problem, best way is prevention in the first place.
I'd talk to a builder / somebody who specialises in the wet problem you have.
As for mould, I would wager you are being effected by it. One of my friends lived in a flat that had a damp problem and ended up needing and inhaler / coughing all the time. It got a lot better when they moved out of the flat they were in and into a house that was dry.
