Hi Rjrjrj, my husband and I recently invested in a big fan and a dehumidifier. I also have a little hand held fan on my bedside cabinet. Maybe try to get the humidity out of the bedroom before going to bed and have a fan on overnight and see how you get on?

All in all the dehumidifier and new fan cost us around £180.

Best of Luck

Do you mean air purifier? I think there have been other posts on this subject if you want to use search.

If your asthma is like mine, it is difficult to regulate air flow in evenings. I think Singulair helps the most with nighttime breathing. However, on many nights, I must also run a fan on low and pointed away from me (unless I really cannot breathe, then I will point it right at me). I must point it away, as I seem to start choking with phlegm, especially if air is cooler from the air conditioning. Asthma is strange, we need the fan and air conditioning to manage the temperature, but it can only be set at a certain temperature. I find that exactly on 70 degrees (cooling or heating) works best for me year-round. Good luck to you.

I think it’s a case of trial error depending on your asthma triggers. I can’t have any fans or air on in the same room as me or I’m soon gasping to breathe but they work for others 🤷🏼‍♀️

I just have a window open all the time unless it goes below -5C. As sparkywoo says, it’s try it and see what works for you.
