romey  I think so I don't put my radiator on in my bedroom and my windows are always open if your heatings on put a bowl of water close by because the heat drys the air up x

[Nitap in reply to Titchy52]

Maybe but I have my bedroom windows open and never have the rad on in there !

Hi I think they do I know it seems odd but I always need window open for air but especially when rads are on else can't get my breath, but I get chills so can't win xx

my fella has copd and he has the rads on all the time cos he feels the cold obvs but i have noticed that the dry heat of the rads make him worse

If I get hot, my breathing goes to pot, but I also feel the cold, so life is a constant adjustment between heating on, gilet off, window open etc etc.  I keep a hand held fan near me which seems to help with the breathing when I'm too warm

in my old house I found I was better with the coal fire going than having the oil heating going , in our new place its electric radiators and wake up stuffed up and coughing for the first couple of hours after getting up ,

If you have very good air flow around you place you should have a problem

Rads on in the bedrooms and no open windows at night for me, my lungs don't like cold air at all, in the summer no heating but windows remain closed due to chronic hayfever.

I can't see how it does. ..it can well effect asthma..but just about anything can do that...

The way I see it centeral heating was a God send when I live in U.K. 

If you feel that it is having an effect on you then you have to look for the reason why....

Ventilation in rooms is often overlook. 

Is the air to dry for you.

Members have talk about humidity and have bought humidifiers. 

Others had bought fans for there rooms that the use the most..and said it has help with there breathing. 

Maybe dont put it on in your bed room and use a heater ...see if that makes a difference. 

Hope you find the answers soon.
