Cold air can be a major trigger for asthma symptoms. When you breathe in chilly, dry air, it can irritate your airways and cause them to tighten, making it harder to breathe.
Common signs of asthma flare-ups include:
• Shortness of breath
• Wheezing (a whistling sound when breathing)
• Chest tightness or pressure
• Frequent coughing, especially at night or early morning
• Feeling more tired during normal activities
Winter weather, respiratory illnesses, and even exercising outdoors in the cold can make symptoms worse.
Helpful tips during cold weather:
✔️ Cover your nose and mouth with a scarf to help warm the air before you breathe it in
✔️ Take medications exactly as prescribed
✔️ Keep rescue inhalers with you at all times
✔️ Avoid outdoor activity on very cold or windy days if symptoms are not well controlled
✔️ Stay up to date on flu and respiratory illness prevention
If you notice your inhaler isn’t helping as much, you’re waking at night coughing, or everyday tasks leave you short of breath, don’t ignore the signs, early treatment can prevent a more serious flare-up.
Stay warm and breathe easy.
