Having an asthma attack but

[whatyadoing]

Why in hell's blazes am I having it?

The only thing I can think of is the weather?

I'm ok and treating it with inhalers, but it's pretty bad

Is it thundery where you are? My asthma often gets bad just before.

Humidity? Pollen?

I agree with sonja, mine does too. Make sure you're leaning forward, it opens your airways more.

Have you called 111?

My chests been tight for a few days, I blame the heat and humidity

Agree it's the storms and pollen. How are you controlling this right now?

Hot stormy weather before the storm breaks makes mine worse too - e.g. tonight!

Call someone if you need to.

Thunderstorm asthma - the Australians have published a fair bit on it. One theory is that the pollen breaks into smaller pieces, so more likely to inhale it?

Humidity, I've been bad all day. Hope you're okay.

Yup, mine gets worse with rain too. As does my hay fever!

Yes, weather is a terrible trigger for me. Daily antihistamines and steroid nasal spray helps me.

Yes, thunder earlier.

I didn't take my antihistamine last night. Doh! One of those things where you get bored taking it for no reason. Yup, reason now!

The hot weather has been making me wheezy too

Take your inhalers,

Another thing that is helping me is a salt pipe/inhaler

You can get them really cheap from Amazon, ive found it helps me breathe a bit better and takes some of the wheezing away

It's not being able to breathe in fully that's affecting me

I'm on Ventolin and Serotide, was just wondering why really. Has to be the weather.

Dd's asthma is playing up too. Definitely the weather.
Hope you feel better soon.

Thunder and rain kicking all the pollen up. Mines a mess as is my dc. Dose up on antihistamine as well as your puffers

I hope the antihistamin (you've taken it now, I guess!) and inhalers help settle it down. Mine's usually well controlled but has been quite bad for some weeks now. I just assume it's the pollen.

I always seem to get worse in extremitres of weather, hot humid or freezing 😕
key is don't fester too much and be on top of meds 😊

Gib1234 mine does too, cold and heat bring mine on..

I'm glad I've seen this thread so I know it's not just me experiencing this with asthma and the heat

I noticed it today. Need to make sure to take the preventer inhaler. DD was wheezy within a few minutes after stepping out of the house earlier. It felt very “heavy” if that makes sense. Our flat is very cool so probably has less impact inside.

Mine has been too. I am taking my inhaler (symbicort) as usual but still feeling it.

When it gets too hot or too cold I always take an antihistamine as well.

I've been taking extra doses of Clenil and Serevent twice a day, but still end up needing Ventolin daily at the moment. Taking two types of antihistamins a day, too. I've always known below zero dry cold is a trigger for me, but never thought about heat.
