Hi Camilla - assume you are meaning a DE-humidifier since the humid weather isn't good for your breathing. I don't know the answer as we are all so different. Hopefully someone will be along who has tried and maybe benefitted from using one. There are lots of other weather issues which can affect people, like whether the air pressure is high or low. There is also quite a lot of pollen around in the U.K. at present and that doesn't help.

Leaving messages for doctors often doesn't work. Call your surgery and ask the receptionist for a telephone appointment with your doctor, then they will get your notes out and you will be on your doc's list same as for a standard appointment. I hope you get some help with this.

I spoke to my nurse about a humidifier at work because of the air con making the air dry, The answer was, try it and see, as what works for one doesn't work for another. Not much help I know but perhaps you could borrow a de-humidifier from someone and see if it helps

As O2Trees suggests, u should call your surgery & ask for a telephone appointment - he/she may want to see you for check-in if things aren't too good with you. Take care

I have a dehumidifier and it certainly helps me. High humidity has always upset my chest, so reducing it in the home does work.

Mine is an electric one (recommended) made by ecoair at £200. I also have a smaller one by Meaco at £100, but this one is no where near as effective as the ecoair. I would strongly suggest paying as much as you can afford as you certainly get what you pay for in dehumidifiers.

I use my ecoair to get the humidity down to 40%, but the Meaco will only get it down to 45% and it takes hours to do that.

Best of luck if you get one.

Regards.

Eric.
