I have had mild asthma for a long time, but never caused a big problem. But with this heat wave it seems to have kicked into higher gear-- anyone else have the same thing?
BTW-- I have super cold AC at work, but no AC at home, so there are lots of temp changes too.

Yes the heat aggravates the asthma. Also the hotter it is the more ozone builds up around the urban areas and that aggravates asthma. Then the temperature change is also aggravating it. I hope you have a prescription inhaler. I spent 3 weeks in the heat after Hurricane Katrina when we had no power and my asthma, which is usually no problem, roared out of the bowels of Hell at me. Take care of yourself.

Believe It Or Not You don't drink enough Water
during the day, you have to drink all day long take 3 Or 4 Ounces Of Water or more every Hour That You are Awake And Your Asthma will Go Away For Good.

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his asthma has shown no sign of improving. He has been to several doctors but they didn't help much.

It's not the heat that's causing the problem it's the humidity. Water in the air can cause Asthma flare ups like nothing.

Yeah I've been having a lot more trouble with my asthma recently with the heat and humidity. Soccer practice in 90 degree weather has been horrible and with the humidity it feels even hotter. Really hot/humid or really cold weather affects my lungs and breathing.

Extremes in temperature (either heat or cold) are a major trigger for asthma.

Yes it can. It raises Cain with mine, too. I've found that cool air, moist if possible, is the best thing you can do for asthma besides meds. Just breathing cool, moist air can do a lot -- that's part of what makes nebulizer treatments so effective.

yes, ever since the heat wave, I have been having alot of problems wheezing and with shortness of breath.
I do not go out unless I am going to work or feeding the animals--early in the morning when I come in. (I work night shift--that is one good thing--I sleep days) :)
