Oh yes, I remember going on holiday to a Health Farm type of hotel, decided to try a sauna for the first time, and they sprayed the hot stones with water, nearly died, and I am only a mildish asthmatic. Stuck to the swimming pool after that.

that's awful I can't do spa pools either, legs feel like heavy led after and airways narrowed, just as bad in cold damp weather.

YES!! Since the heat and humidity set in my spirometry tests have gone down a few percent. It had me very worried and then I realized I am breathing in very dense air and even people with healthy lungs complain that it's hard to breathe in humidity. Awful isn't it unified ? Take care. xx 🌞🍀

Without question! The vast majority of breathing compromised individuals breathe much more easily in de-humidified, climate-controlled or air conditioned environments, judg69

Yes. I've not been able to walk as well this last week when the weather became more humid, and I've also had to use my reliever inhaler more.

Hi,when it does get humid my chest goes tight so I get a cooling fan in front of me and quite often have to take my ventolin more but what I do is make myself yawn and this helps me.
