Hot Weather & Asthma

[Olivia22]

Hi everyone 😁

I'm new on here 😜

How is everyone finding the hot weather and asthma?

I'm finding it a bit of a struggle up and down days, just wondering how everyone else is doing.

[Kitten-kat23]

I find I'm struggling too.

[Olivia22 in reply to Kitten-kat23]

Nice to know I'm not the only one 😁

[Smudge12 in reply to Kitten-kat23]

It is the worst I have been and now hay fever to add to it! Really struggling. 8 steroids a day for a week and new inhaler plus steroids to sniff as well, so do understand. 😒

[Kitten-kat23 in reply to Smudge12]

I know how you feel.

[Kitten-kat23 in reply to Smudge12]

Keeping you in my thoughts.

[Smudge12 in reply to Kitten-kat23]

Hope you are feeling a little better now. I haven’t had such bad asthma during the summer before plus chest infection and never had hayfever so bad either. Only thing is that there seem to be so many people in our situation which I suppose is a comfort in away. 🤧🤧🙀

Hi welcome to the forum. I'm finding this weather a struggle too. Headaches. tight chested.

[Olivia22 in reply to andy121]

Today has been my worse day yet, earlier nearly called 999. Tight chest is the worst...I hate this condition ☹. I hope your improving ((hugs to you)))

[andy121 in reply to Olivia22]

Hopefully you won't need to call 999 but do if your worrried or meds not working. Today has been the worse for me too. Im on fostair so been taking extra puffs. Seems to be ok at the moment. Hopefully you feel better soon. keep taking the meds and keep cool. ((hugs)))

I'm taking extra duoresp and antihistamines... still struggling a little

[Olivia22]

I hope you feel better soon 😁, the heat seems to aggravate asthma not sure why. I hope the weather cools down a bit.

Hi

Not doing to well at the moment with hot weather

Having to use inhalers more not sleeping well either.

Be glad when it gets cooler

Hugs to you

[Olivia22 in reply to Micheledrinkwater19]

I hope it gets better for you, I think the heat is really causing problems with asthmatics and it difficult to control.

Sending (((hugs to you))).

It's been ok now I'm managing on my meds now but before say may time it was horrendous. I found taking my blue on regular basis not as and when helped also taking nasal spray and antihistamines. Also making sure lots of fluids. Hayfever is really bad this year. I hope it improves for you soon x

[Olivia22]

Hayfever is definitely a problem...this years high heat levels along with hayfever are not the best recipe. Hopefully it will cool down soon 😎

[Asthma-girl]

I am really struggling at the moment, this weather is causing lots of problems with my asthma and hay fever using maximum doses of all my medications.

[Olivia22 in reply to Asthma-girl]

I hope you feel better soon 😄and the hot weather gives us asthmatics a break. Here's a (((hug )))

[Moos_mumma]

Our little girl is really struggling. Her symbicort has been doubled, blue inhaler lots and now steroids. Wish she could enjoy the weather like her brother 😭

[Olivia22 in reply to Moos_mumma]

It's really not much fun for asthmatics at the moment, I hope the heat cools down soon. Here's a (((hug))) to you all 😊

[Gareth57]

Heat isn’t the problem for me it is the very high pollen we have been getting that irritates the airways

[Olivia22 in reply to Gareth57]

Hayfever is a added extra! I wish there was more effective treatment for hayfever. Here's a (((hug))).

[Kiiam]

Hi Olivia22 : sorry your struggling : think you’ve got some friends on here 😁😁. For me it’s the heat, (non allergic asthma ) , so no hay fever, one less thing to worry about. : the April/May weather was the best for me, and I’ve made the most of being asthma free for a lot of the day it , but back to hiding in doors in the afternoons so I can breathe , and the evenings are a real struggle , so I’m trying to get things done early morning ...... hope it cools soon for everyone xxxxxx

[Olivia22]

Thank you for your message. Support from everyone on here is great😁. Here's a (((hug))) to you.

[Olivia22]

Thank you everyone one who has replied, I think we're all having a rough time with the exceptionally high temperatures and then hayfever on top. I think it's fair to say it can make us all feel scared but at least we're all here for each other.

Today feels a tiny bit cooler so I hope you all feel that too.

Here's a big ((((((hug)))))) to each and everyone of you for doing your best and dealing with life at the same time.

Together we can be strong 🖒

[Destiny10]

Hate this hot weather too, started coughing a lot been put on a stronger steroid inhaler for a short time, sometimes feel as there's no air in the evenings so the big fan comes out.to cool the room down. Hope this weather cools down soon.

[Olivia22]

I really hope it does cool down feels like the worst week ever. I hope things settle down for you too (((hugs))) 😊

[Anniecath]

Yep, struggling, wheezy, doing as little as possible. Get some releif at night but not much !

[Certificate]

I'm exactly the same I've had a few good weeks with my asthma and now I'm back to being unwell and shortness of breath! Just increase your blue inhaler and you should be OK.
