The cold weather is a trigger for my asthma, but I'm confused on something. I was inside at work today and towards the middle of the day, I had a small attack. When I went outside at the end of the day, I realized the weather had gotten a lot colder.
If the weather drops outside, does it affect your asthma even if you are indoors? If so, why is that? Shouldn't you be safe from attacks while you're indoors because you're not physically out in the cold?

Depends
A lot of my asthma is linked to humidity
Indoors in the winter the humidity will be lower because of the heating system
The colder it gets outside, the more heat is applied inside
and ergo even lower humidity

I feel your pain. I've had asthma for 14 years now and have seen several doctors. The truth is, there is no known cure for asthma at the moment. But the symptoms can be prevented. It really depends on what causes your brother's asthma. Mine is usually dust and hot weather. But I think the universal method is using the control inhaler.
I cured my Asthma the natural way?

Actually I have never heard of that. When asthma is triggered by the cold, it is a reaction of the lungs to the cold air. Since the air inside of a building should be heated, this just does not happen. You have to keep in mind that asthma can be triggered by many other agents which you might or might not be aware of. These can include strong odors, perfumes, dust, chemicals in the air and things like that.

I have asthma also and I think the reason is because colder air is dryer. I've had the same thing happen to me. If you were at work and it was around noon time could people have been going in and out for lunch?

My daughter (8) has asthma and has it seasonally. Her triggers have to do with allergens, and dry air. Perhaps the heater kicked on at work, drying out the air. Also, middle of the day means lunch. Did you have anything different to eat that may be a trigger for you?

My brother is an asthmatic and after ten years his bronchial allergies has shown no signal of enhancing. He has been to a pair of docs notwithstanding they did not help a lot. in case you want a verified, all-widely used decision to treatment your bronchial allergies, without want to pay for ineffective drugs with unsafe side-effects, then that's the mandatory internet website you'd be able to ever learn.
