I have asthma and my husband and I plan on moving to Denver Co. I am concerned that the altitude will effect my asthma. Does anyone know weather or not it is a good place to live if you have asthma?

Denver is pretty good with air quality, etc. Though, with population growing and sprawl, car exhaust will get worse.
Also, Denver has the best asthma hospital/research facility in the country at National Jewish, so you will have access to excellent pulmonary and immunology care!

I have terrible asthma, and being that were at a higher altitude naturally it makes it a little harder to breathe say verses Florida or somthing. Its NOT one of the best places for asthma, thats for sure!!
