Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / October 2006Change in Weather
I'm going to be going on vacation in a couple of days. I live in a dry, low humidity area, almost desert. I'm going to Miami for a week and the long range weather calls for days in the mid to high 80s with rain and thunderstorms possible. I know that will mean high humidity. What can I expect as far as my asthma? It's is not quite under control. > I'm going to be going on vacation in a couple of days. I live in a dry, low > humidity area, almost desert.

I know that any time that there is a big change in weather I have problems... and I especially have problems in heat and humidity..... I'm not sure your asthma will do but I would make sure that you take all of your normal meds... as well as all emergency meds... (nebulizer.... prednisone.....rescue inhalers)... and talk to your dr before you go and see what advice she has  SignatureSheri Shanks http://www.sassiebrat.com http://www.displayground.com > > I'm going to be going on vacation in a couple of days.

I will take all that stuff with me and hope it does the trick. > Thanks - I hate humidity anyway - it makes me feel like there is a hot, wet > washcloth laying on me, so I'm sure I am going to be uncomfortable.

I went to Texas for my son's graduation from basic training in July... it was 90 by 9am.... and the humidity was very high.... I made it thru the ceremony but I was doing a breathing treatment on the way to the restaurant (I have a battery operated nebulizer)>...... Just take precautions... make sure you drink plenty of water... and rest when you can.. but above all... HAVE FUN!

I was lucky that the humidity was not too bad except for the first day when we landed. It was rainy and very muggy. It was a trial getting all our luggage together as my one big suitcase was very heavy. The hardest thing of the whole trip was getting to the airport and dragging the luggage around. Otherwise it was great, especially our day at Calder Race Course. Love those ponies! > I'm back, and I did have a really good time.

Right now I'm battling some problems today... lots of back and chest pains...... and tight bands.. can't figure out the trigger for this ..........

Right now it doesn't interfere too much with my life except when I have to expend more than a little bit of energy. For some reason bending over causes a lot of difficulty. Do you know why that would be so? Do you feel like you have a tight metal band around your chest, squeezing? > I wish they would come up with a real cure - it is getting to be an > epidemic.

Do you know why that would be so? Do you > feel like you have a tight metal band around your chest, squeezing? I have tight bands... as well as very sharp pains both in my back and my chest. I can breathe out very well.. just not in very well... and I cough alot.... I have adult onset... never had it as a child was diagnosed when I was 40...... and at first I would not accept it.... took about 2 years for me to get use to the fact that I had to learn to live with it..... still fight it at times.. and I'm lucky to have someone in my life who is the "adult" when I don't want to be about this. A cure would be nice.... but I don't think I will live to see it..... I hope that my grandchildren will. I have no idea why bending over would effect you... maybe because it compress the diaphragm which would make it harder to breathe......
