Asthma in extreme cold condition

if you have somking habbit please quit that asthma is winter too strong so while you smoke in winter it will make you more disable

asthma... yes i agree with you... my freind also have asthma, and can not go to dust places also.. but i have readed that it is caused to you by smoking.. i must say smoking is a dangoures habit.. i must pass this msg to all the user in mylot.. pl. dont smoke.. its a bad habit...

i do understand your concern. and so sorry you do have asthma. my boyfriend is asthmatic, too. he lives in sweden and it's cold there most of the time. and he suffers from asthma frequently because of the high humidity and the cold weather. he smokes, too making him suffer from asthma more. when he came to the philippines to visit me, he felt better. he had no asthma attacks. plus he has now quitted smoking. the weather here according to him has helped him a lot. about his smoking habit, i never forced him to quit it. he did it voluntarily. and he's doing okey now. he's feeling better even if he's in sweden. you should not overwork. i think stress can worsen asthma. and take the medications as prescribed by your doctors. hope you feel better soon!

I have asthma too. doesn't bother me in the winter. in the summer mostly, or if I'm around air conditioners.

hi there have tried YOGA?? i would suggest you to do go for prayanaam for atleast 2 months. i have seen people getting cured completely from asthma by doing yoga.

My sister sufferes from chronic asthma and we went to the doctor when her attacks became more frequent and interfered with her schooling. The doctor prescribed inhalers two of them and gave the explanation that one is for increasing the air passage and the other was for lowering of inflammation. She had to have these with her all the time and use them as necessary. Now my sister works in air conditioned rooms and during night shifts but she doesnt need her inhalers as often. Maybe you could ask yoiu physician for inhalers? At least they are handy top carry around and they could help you especially during emergencies since they work almost immediately.

my mother-in-law have sathma many years,she suffer it especially duriing the night. very poor...

Not real familiar with asthma, been diagnosed with it, but no attacks-just minor wheezing-also from smoking. Since I've quit, it's gone away, unless my allergies kick in. There's a prescription called Singulair, that's a chewable tablet usually given to kids to help prevent attacks. Also, there's a new inhaler out, it's supposed to be more long acting. I had it for a real bad bout of bronchitis & asthma, think I had to use it twice a day. Think it has some kind of steroid in it as well, it's called Advair. I don't understand why you had to go to the doctor every week, they should just give you a prescription that'll cover you for a few months at a time.

You may actually be allergic to the cold air. My wife has been diagnosed with an allergy to cold. Other than staying in places with warm air and making sure you stay warm...I don't know what else you can do. There are some puffers you can use to help clear/open your airways prior to being exposed that should help. I know that I had asthma as a kid and when I go out in the cold air...I find it difficult to breath at times.

I was also suffering from Asthma from last 6 years.I have not taken any medicine for it. And Now also I dont need any pills or any puffs. I can suggest u 1 thing. PLzzzzzz switch to Yoga rather then pills. It will really help u. U have to give atleast 45 or 30 minutes daily morning or evening. But be regular.It will really help u. If u need any assistance plz dont hesitate.

I've had asthma since I was a kid - and have definitely noticed the improvements since moving out of the city (smog) and away from the cold! About the best you can do is keep warm - wear as many layers of clothing as you can, wear a scarf around your neck as well...I have found that helps A LOT! If you do feel slightly wheezy try a glass of warm milk, it may help to loosen up your chest again. Do you have a preventative program? A lot of doctors will prescribe an preventative that you take on a regular basis, rather than a treatment for when you actually get the symptoms. Apart from this you should really be speaking to your doctor as it sounds like you have a bit more than a mild case. If you are worried at all: GO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR!

try to consume ginger juice with little honey in warm water..it will give u some relief

i used to have asthma. when i was a kid i used to have attacks. but being a kid who liked playing sports, my asthma went away. but now i do have asthma of the skin. it is asthma in the form of skin blothes and stuff. i say it's still better than having respiratory attacks. i suggest you stay away from smoke and dust. also try not to expose yourself to temperature changes.

Try Yoga and that too Sri Sri Ravishankar's Kriya Yoga.

Well there isnt a permanent solution for this Will tell you something interesting here in india we got this Baba Ramdev, and most of the people who had asthama earlier and who have been practising his excercises regularly have been really relieved from the disease Even my friends father does the same :)

I did not knoww that cold weather affects those with asthma. My grandmother has it and she does not have any special sympthoms during the winter

Colds Can Aggravate Asthma A cold can bring on an attack of asthma which could require hospitalization. Even a week after the end of a cold, symptoms of asthma can remain. Recent research has shown that most wheezing episodes in asthma patients occurred during viral, not bacterial, infections. Viruses, often linked with wheezing, include the rhinovirus (or common cold virus), parainfluenza virus and influenza virus. Research from England indicates that bacteria are found in the lungs almost as often during wheezing episodes as without wheezing. Viruses, on the other hand, are found more often when asthma is at its worst. In a recent study, viruses were found to be present in 64 percent of asthmatic children - whose asthma worsened from a cold. Why Do Viruses Affect Asthma? During a cold, people allergic to ragweed and other pollens are more likely to have an asthmatic episode after exposure to ragweed. Viruses promote inflammation of the lung in persons without allergy; there is even more inflammation in patients with allergy. The virus actually damages the lung cells and allows foreign substances such as allergens (ragweed, house dust mite, etc.) to enter the lung. The viruses remove the protective covering of the exposed delicate nerve endings. This results in the release of certain inflammatory substances that can make asthma worse. In a person who is already allergic, a viral infection could lead to increased allergic inflammation.

I did not knoww that cold weather affects those with asthma.

its better to stay away from cold water... and just carry on with doctor prescription adn take along with you while travelling... Well, congratulations on Quit smoking... how did you do that..???
