I've not had asthma problems since losing my weight, but cold air still makes me wheeze easier than other triggers.

At the start of my ride today (39 degrees, 10-15 mph winds), I started getting pain in the middle of my chest when I breathed deeply. I am a mouth-breather, and I was dressed properly with a balaclava over my face/nose. I didn't push it, it DID improve but my chest is even now just a little tight (no wheezing).

Has anyone else had this happen? I've ridden in colder temps and this is the first time I've experienced this. Have you found a way to prevent the cold air from irritating your lungs - outside of sticking to the trainer? It felt so nice to finally have the proper clothing for the temps and then had this happen

BTW, I love my brand new PI Elite Barrier MTB shoe covers Thank you, very much, to the friend who was able to help me get them at a discount!
