How Can The Weather And
Climate Change Situations Affect Your Asthma, And How To Live With It ?
|
Your living environment is very closely related to your
health, especially if you have asthma. However, it is sometimes not
that easy to just decide to move your family to a new area or even a
new country just to be adapted to the weather! There are a lot of more
important things that involved and must be considered for such a huge
decision. But that doesn’t mean you cannot avoid
asthma trigger !

|
One of asthma triggers that affect the most of people with asthma is
weather and/or climate change, especially immediate or
extreme climate change, such as from cold to hot or from hot to cold.
Windy conditions and changes in the humidity and barometric pressure
are also included in the weather and climate change factor.
|
Too cold and dry room
Breathing in a room with air conditioner that is turned too
cold and dry can cause your airway to be narrower. To overcome it,
wear scarf around your neck that cover also your lower part of your
nose and your mouth. This will warm and humidify the air that you
breathe.
Windy days
Use also scarf in windy days. Dry and windy weather can
stir up pollen and mold in the air, leading to asthma problems for
some people. |

 |
High humidity
For you who live in countries with high humidity, try to
stay in an air-conditioned room as long as possible, as air
conditioner can maintain temperature and humidity in a room.
Winter season
If you are
suffering from asthma, winter season is the time to be particularly
careful. In winter time make sure you always wear your gloves,
scarves, hats and whatever else you can to keep yourself warm. During
the winter season also ensure you don't have damp floors or are
wearing damp clothes, and always have your asthma medication handy. |

Attack During Bad Weather

Watch the forecast
for pollen and
mold counts as well as other conditions (extreme cold or
heat) that might affect your child's asthma.
-
Keep your child
indoors early in the morning (before 10 AM) when pollen is at its
highest levels.

conditioning, which cleans, cools, and dries the air.

outdoor activities on peak trigger days.

wears a scarf over his or her mouth and nose outside during very cold
weather.

mow the lawn or rake leaves, and should be kept away from freshly cut
grass and leaf piles.

Make sure your child
always has rescue asthma medication, on hand.

Create an asthma
diary of your child’s symptoms and possible triggers of asthma, and talk
to your child's doctor.
