Copd and working nights

Hi

It is possible you are affected by the cleaning products.

What products are you using is there a alternative.

Air freshener can also cause breathing problems.You will have to consider the long term affect.

I work outside part time until 10 pm.There is more oxygen concentrated in the air at night due to the air being more dense ( I believe this to be true as I feel I can breathe better and cars run better ! )

I feel sluggish when I wake up in the morning. My PR chap says that strart moving about a bit and you'll gradually start breathing better. It works for me after about an hour.

I also am moderate copd. I do office cleaning at night. I was noticing a while back, when I woke up, I was very wheezy. Haven't really figured it out. It was in my throat and it was loose. I could cough it up. I was thinking acid reflux. Anyway, I don't use inhalers. But I do have qvar for times I'm wheezing.

So I started using that when I go to work and don't seem to be doing it anymore. Do you use inhalers? Your quite active as I am. I think that's a good thing, as the less you do, the less you'll be able to do. Let me know what you figure out. Appears to be something to do with your cleaning job. Is it humid there . That bothers me.

could it be aircraft fumes thats doing it, would be more condenced at the airport , just a thought, if it's not the cleaning cemicals your using .

Why don't you try using your rescue inhaler before you work there? See if that helps.

cleaning products are the worst things to be around when you have c.o.p.d

My doctor has prescribed an anti allergy spray to put up my nose. It helps.

I was told that my tiredness was due to a build up of co2 in the blood whilst we sleep as we do not breath well when we sleep. I find that it takes me at least a couple of hours to really get going in the morning.
